Jul 6, 2008 Poured a dark brown/black, with minimal white head. Aroma of smoked grains and some caramel and molasses. Flavor of brown sugar. Very dry finish is the only thing that hinders this.

May 27, 2008 Growler thanks BrianK. Pours a brown body with strong ruby hues. Carmel malt dominates this one with some hop character. Sweet and dry in the finish. eh.

May 24, 2008 From draught sample at French Broad. Light caramel and molasses, roasted grain. Bit of sweetness in there with mild coffee and smoke. Bit of spicy hop character. Dark brown copper clear with thin head. Medium watery body with smooth carbonation. Mellow sweet malty character, brown sugar, and molasses. Sweet finish with brown sugar and light floral hops. Nice ale.

May 1, 2008 Draught at the WBF in Raleigh. Brown, small, off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, little alcohol, and caramel. Very malty flavor, roasty, with some bitter malt finish. Tasty beer.

Apr 21, 2008 On tap at Ruby’s in Haw Creek/Asheville. It’s own description does it justice: malty, toasty, and sweet. It’s not overly sweet, though... nice toffee notes of sweetness. Biscuity, too. Surprisingly light, so don’t expect a knockout. One of their better beers, I think.

Apr 17, 2008 Dark and malty with a big alcohol presence. Bittersweet with a smoky, peat tang. I liked it immensely.

Jan 26, 2008 This is not too much of a step up from the regular wee-heavy in my opnion. A bit morem altiness and alcohol, but still lacks that certain flavor that makes it stand out as a scotch ale. This is nuttier than it predecessor, with some caramel and toffee. Pretty mild for the style.
