Apr 3, 2009 Ruby-mahogany, large beige head. Nose of cranberry, barrel-sweetness, and nuts. Flavor has some alcohol, sugar, dried fruit, smoke, peat... great combination. Finishes with some toast, alcohol, and a very pleasant walnut note. Very nice beer, mellow yet complex and complimentary.

Mar 22, 2009 Orange-brown with lots of floaters. Little head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, and caramel. The flavor is similar, with notes of the toffee that grandma used to make. Very malty, but fresh, with chocolate.

Mar 18, 2009 Bottle at The Penguin’s Arms, back to back with Stone Smoked Porter. Dessert sweet but not oppressive aroma swilling with ripe figgy fruit, vanilla pod, apple strudel and custard, toffee. Some seriously noseable apple, raisin and nutmeg spiciness in there with a yeastiness not unlike White Shield. Squeeze of old sock. Straight away I like this more than the Stone. Glinting ruby with a heavy beige lid climbing up the sides of the tulip. Mouth can’t quite match that but has a go with warm figgy toffee malt sweetness, the same again, alcohol, raisin, oak and vanilla. Some soapy bitter orange hints, hop or yeast-derived, caramel, chestnut, nuts, dab of dankness. Thick and fruity but unsticky with a dip of liquorice parting bitterness. Tasty, rounded, full-bodied BW.

Mar 17, 2009 Dark Red/Amber in color. Originally purchased because it was toted with the word bacon in the title. I figured I couldn’t go wrong with bacon. A pretty decent beer.
