playitbybeer (48), San Diego, California, USA Oct 14, 2009 From a can...so I can’t describe color or smell cause I just smell metal. The taste is amazing though, sweet and hoppy. Wow. I am thoroughly impressed...I just wish there was less of an aluminum taste. Damn cans. I would love to have this on tap or something but I’m still rating very high. WLG423 (43), Connecticut, USA Oct 14, 2009 Pours out a nice dark brown with a toffee colored head. Slightly sweet aroma, smelling of toast. Nice semi-thick body. A toasty and slightly chocolate finish. jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Oct 11, 2009 Cask @ Chelsea’s Brewing Co. in NYC this past weekend. I wasn’t personally a huge fan of this ale, and I have to admit it is 100% due to the scotch bourbon flavor that dominates everything else. 8% abv - tastes more like 28%. NJJereme (261), Saint Petersburg, Florida, USA Oct 11, 2009 Can. Pours a nice amber color with a light tan head. Aroma caught me by surprise, smells more like a stout, aromas of chocolate, cherry, coffee and malts. Medium bodied, has more the body of an ale. Goes down pretty easy as well. Good stuff. gyllenbock (238), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 10, 2009 Can. Dark brown color with a brownish head.
Aroma of fruit, chocolate and whisky. Taste of brown sugar, caramel and cola. Honestly I must say that the sweet taste became a little annoying after a while. Drinkable but not the best I have drunk.
basewars (144), Albany, New York, USA Oct 9, 2009 Can. Pours deep reddish brown with thick, quickly dissipating brown head. Aroma is thick with caramel malts, floral hops, and plenty of cola with a bit of peat. Creamy, full body. Flavor is sweet with some caramel, but fairly muddled. A touch of warming alcohol. Solid beer. mgermani (862), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Oct 5, 2009 Pours a headless mahogany with a malty sweet alcoholic aroma with light notes of caramel and milk chocolate. Very very sweet body - just a bit of leafy stale hops, and a lingering caramel/cola aftertaste. Some woodsiness in here too. Thin body, lightly carbonated. A touch too sweet for my liking. spkldhenlvr24 (446), Newburgh/Buffalo, New York, USA Oct 2, 2009 Can. Pours a very dark brown, which kind of does resemble cola, with a red tint. Small quickly diminshing off white head. Aroma is licorice, chocolate, coffee with some roasted malts, spice and slight alcohol notes. Flavor is a nice balance of roasted malts and sweet caramel flavor with spicy, warming finish. Very good beer, esp. the best I’ve ever had out of a can!
