Oct 8, 2008 Bottle from Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Pours dark brown with garnet aspects. Not much head. Rich malty aroma that seems to have chocolate accompaniment. Body is thinner than expected. Carbonation is minimal. Flavor is malty, smoky, coffee, chocolate and dark fruits. Despite expectations it is not all that sweet and the finish is neutral, perhaps toward astringent. The darker flavors tend to build interestingly.

Aug 10, 2008 Courtesy JMFG. Pours a pitch black, with not much of a head. Smells of some dark fruits, dark malts, figs, molasses, with maybe a touch of some smoke as well. Theflavor had a little of that smoke in it, lots of a dark fruit base, and some light vanilla as well. Got some bitter burnt malt in the finish which left bitterness on the palate. Decent scotch ale, but nothing to write home about.
