(Bottled) Nut brown colour. Nice head. Smokey aroma with notes of tar. Dry, smoked and peaty flavour with a touch of toffee. An excellent alternative to single malt whisky.

Oct 1, 2008 Pours a nice reddish brown with a small off white head. Aroma of dark fruits, malt, rasins, caramel, molasses. Flavor is sweet dark fruits, earthy undertones, brown sugar, caramel, molasses, thick syrupy mouthfeel. Good stuff.

Sep 7, 2008 (Bottle). Fruity sweet aroma. Reddish dark amber, with small off-white head. Flavor is sweetish pineapple and other fruit, with the alcohol apparent. Interesting, but not outstanding.

does not count  Sep 6, 2008 a solid barley wine. somewhat uninteresting. improved in enjoyability as the pint progressed. slight sweet but somewhat flattish flavor response from beginning to end. quite drinkable and overall a fine beer.
sbroome (8), Burnsville, Minnesota, USA
does not count Sep 6, 2008 This is definately a Scotch Ale from the excellent Scottish island of Orkney. An amber-colored ale with medium head, bordering on a reddish ale. Nose is that of fruit and carmel. Taste is sweet and quite bold. Molasses and sugary, a clearness of peat and smoke, good muscle behind this, but not enough to punch you in the gut. Can clearly notice the high alcohol.
jgentgesdo (544), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
Sep 6, 2008 Pours amber with a giant tan head. Nose is mostly figs and dates, with a brown sugar note and a little yeast. Flavor is sharply defined with caramel, molasses, tobacco. Strong alcohol flavor. Syrupy mouthfeel. Mild bitterness. Good barleywine.
