12oz. bottle. Aroma of dark fruits and lightly smoky malts, faintly sweet and peaty, showing some mild roast, chocolate, red grape, black cherry and raisin in the nose. Dark brown-black in color, forming a very slight head. Flavor is largely fruity and sweet, but features a nicely earthy, dark, roasty backdrop and a tangy, lightly bitter and drying peat finish. Lingering hints of chocolate and raisin. Gently acidic and smooth on the palate, body is medium-full. Interesting stuff, I’d wanted to try this for quite some time. Thanks to boboski!

Jan 4, 2009 ~Pours a dark brown with small off white head that last. Sediment chunks floating in beer, possibly yeast.
~Coffee and chocolate malt scent.
~Chocolate malt taste. A bit sugary.
~Creamy feel, sweet and bitter finish.
~Decent porter. Seemed to be a little above average to me.

Dec 15, 2008 The aroma is alcohol - scotch. The body is black with a light brown head, mostly diminishing with good lacing. The initial flavor is a touch sweet with a little bitter coming in after. Tastes of coffee, chocolate and a little roasty malt hits after, lots of flavor. The body is light to medium, the texture creamy, just a touch watery and the carbonation soft.

Dec 13, 2008 pretty good body and beer profile that is hops and good malt - it is good in quantity and just lightly sweet and balanced with a proper smokey peat flavor that is light enough and buttery yet not butterscotch good moderate carbonation that is substantial yet soft. quite a fine scotch porter ballsy - yet dark and refined.

Dec 5, 2008 Poured a dark mahogony with a thin tan head and decent lacing. Smelled of chocolate malts, some peat, oatmeal and a little bit of smokiness. Tasted of the above along with a hint of pine and some spice - went down well. A decent thickness to the beer as well - not overly thin.
