Jan 27, 2008 1pt Bottle: Poured a picture perfect jet black with a light but fastly dissipating light brown head. Aroma is light malty with a heavy scent of dark chocolate. Goes down quite easy.

Jan 26, 2008 Very dark, almost like a stout in color. Wonderful flavors of smoke, whisky, chocolate, coffee, toffee, and pit fruits. Given the depth and darkness of flavor, would have expected a heavier body. I look forward to trying this closer to the source when I visit the Orkneys in May. 500ml bottle from Greenlife

Jan 16, 2008 Black pour that forms a tall creamy tan head. Aroma is smoky, slightly bitter, and a bit chocolaty. Flavor is very subtle and well balanced. Kind of a roasted flavor, sweet and toffee like, with a crisp pleasant finish. This is quite enjoyable.

Jan 15, 2008 Bottle thanks to Paul. The beer pours to a really deep mahogany brown body with a medium creamy tan head. The aroma is smoked milk chocolate. Delicate subtleties going on. Very aromatic. The flavor is subtle tobacco, walnuts, smoked malt, powdered chocolate. Very balanced and nice. The palate is dry, medium bodied, and yet refreshing. Nice texture.

Jan 12, 2008 Dark brown pour small light tan head decent lacing. Aroma is a bit smoky touches of some earthy notes some light roast malts and a hint of chocolate. Palate is pretty average. Flavor is surprisingly light a bit dry on the tongue w/ a smokey almost smoked salmon taste a touch of char in the after taste then some sweet molasis and a light chocolate that goes well in a very subdued drink. Nice beer.

Jan 9, 2008 Great aroma fairly nice look, but tasted like burnt wood! When I took the first sip I was alittle taken back on what I just purchased. The fruits and hops give it a unique taste of burnt wood, but the beer does smell exactly how it tastes!

Jan 8, 2008 Dark brown body with a foamy light tan head. The aroma is of smoked fish and dark rye bread. Dry, smooth mouthfeel. Tangy roast malt, dried raisin, and bitter wood. This beer could use some more residual sugars.

Jan 1, 2008 Dark brown with a nice head. The first flavours are coffee, caramel, chocolate, malt and a suitable bitterness. Even if it’s not as intense as a stout/porter, my thoughts are taken in that direction. The finish has a nicely balanced bitterness and notes of chocolate and caramel.
