Jul 17, 2008 Updated: Sep 26, 2008Bottled, thanks Crosling! Mahogany colour, minimal head. Peaty toasty nose. Sweet and full bodied. Roasty malt and molassesMalty and warming with some rye bread but very little hops. Smoky finish with low bitterness. Really nice beer, but the malt profile is a little bit rough which prevents it from getting a top score.

Dec 2, 2005 22oz bottle acquired in trade with snowtiger (thanks!). Poured a dark mahogany color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of toffee, peat, smoke, dark fruits and on the earthy side. Softer tastes of caramel, dark fruits, wood and peat. Light alcohol in the finish but overall well hidden. Smooth and easy to drink. This was one kick ass scotch ale.

Dec 2, 2005 Pours a deep dark mahogany brown with a wispy light tan head. Aroma of sweet oily dark fruits, caramel malt and lots of smoky peat. Body starts with a full sticky caramel sweetness and light butterscotch malty flavor turning more peaty toward a lightly warming finish. A nice Scotch ale.

May 17, 2008 Bottle... DLD’08... Clear black ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Smoky, chocolate and coffee nose. Full-bodied and creamy with gentle carbonation. Great balance. Chocolate and smoke. Finishes bittersweet, chocolaty and smoky. Not positive this is brewed to style at all. Great smoked porter? Very nice, either way!
