Pours dark dark brown, almost black with a small amount of tan head. You can taste the sesame like flavor of the malts right away - very sweet and thick beer with notes of raisins, dates and caramel. Just a taste of smoke, almost a peat like flavor. My favorite Scotch Ale.

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.

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.

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.
