Sep 3, 2008 Can bought at LIC. It pours very dark brown with a creamy beige head. Aroma is very malty with caramel, wood, peat and a bit smoke. Silky smooth mouthfeel. In the flavour I sense beechwood, a bit sweet chocolate, some smoke and overripe fruit. Bit insipid aftertaste.

Sep 1, 2008 355 mL can, drunk from the can, so I don’t really know the colour. Aroma is toffee and sweet, roasted malt. Flavour is sweetish caramel, brown sugar, a touch of smoke, and some candied fruit. Alcohol is invisible. Medium to full body. Medium to low carbonation. Great canned beer.

Aug 30, 2008 Can. Poured Brown with some ruby highlights with a tan head that settles out quick. The aroma find caramel and chocolate backed with some other smoky malts. The initial flavor as it was still chilled from the frig was metal, lots of can taste. As it warmed this went away and the flavor follows much the same as the aroma. Medium body, smooth, and sweet throughout.

Aug 27, 2008 Can. Pours a very deep brown with almost no head. Aroma of toffee and caramel malts. The flavor is rich roasted malts: brown sugar, toffee, chocolate, and caramel. The 8% ABV gives the sweetness a bit of a bite. A fairly good Scotch Ale, but the mouthfeel is a bit flat, and the beer could use some more hops for balance.
Capa (952), Yokosuka, Japan
Aug 27, 2008 Pours deep brown/ruby with a beaige head. Toffee, molasses, roasted malts, some cocoa, and spices in the aroma. Very tasty! Roasted malts, toffee, chocolate, molasses, and nice spice. Bubbly body with a light burn. Flavors pop well and are expertly blended. Surprisingly, it remains pretty easy to drink.
