crowderm (275), Recklinghausen, Germany Sep 18, 2008 Big thanks to my braaaaahhh Hillfiiiire. Pours a very nice near-black with a thin off-white head. Aroma is meaty roasted malts with chocolate. Flavor is pretty nice. Creamy milk chocolate, caramel, and smoke. The smokiness turns a bit stale on the back of the tongue, but otherwise this is a tasty brew. The mouthfeel is a little undercarbonated for my liking, but quite smooth. Solid brew. hillfiiiiire (283), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Sep 18, 2008 Beautifully dark body with a diminishing head. Sweetness hits you first in the aroma and is kind of chocolaty like a stout with a kick of caramel and an ever subtle hint of hops. Flavor is like drinking candy with just enough hop to not kill you with the sweetness. Finishes quite nice and smooth. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Sep 14, 2008 Poured dark brown with a white head.A nice sweet caramel nose with a hint of fruit.Flavor was caramel sweet, malts and figs.This finished off sharp. wcampbell (567), Central, South Carolina, USA Sep 14, 2008 Very full bodied and creamy scotch ale. Rich caramel malts and toffee in the taste and finish. A little too sweet for me though. No taste of alcohol. Very dense and heavy taste. Not a fan of cans. LtDan (470), LA - Originally from South NJ!, California, USA Sep 13, 2008 Never the same twice for me. Dark chocolate and black licorice. Finishes rather flat, great abv level and not lacking in overall flavor. Great value at $8.99 a six pack. troyc (1160), Lubbock, Texas, USA Sep 7, 2008 (Can) Pours a very dark brown, with a thin amount of brown head. Very low carbonation. Robust aroma of coffee, chocolate, and smoky campfire. Flavor includes some toffee, smoked peat, sweet cocoa and unrefined sugar. Overall, a very pleasant blend of flavors. Mouthfeel is full, and somewhat heavy. Alcohol is rather noticeable in the finish. It’s still an excellent scotch ale, and it will find it’s way into my regular drinking rotation. BeerVirgin72 (778), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Sep 5, 2008 Had on tap at JP Henleys and shared by Dragonstout. Thanks Brian! This is the first beer I have had from this brewer. Poured a dark brown with thin head. Aroma was roasted nuts and toffee. Flavor was slight milk chocolate, caramel, and cream. Very good and very drinkable. SoberCajun (49), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 4, 2008 On Tap at Highland Kitchen. Cola-brown with a very thin head. Slight spicy-orange aroma. Tastes malty and smoky, medium-bodied with a bit of a sour aftertaste.
