Draft. A deep red beer with a rim of tan head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of roasted malt and caramel. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel and malt as well as lighter notes of whiskey, leading to a sweet finish.

On tap. Clear reddish brown with a beige head. Nutty aroma. Medium body with a little hard roasted malt and a whiff of nuts. Perhaps also a vague touch of peaty smoke. Warming alcohol in the finish. 130709

Bottle, 7%. The aroma starts off a little farty, turning vinous and roasted. Clear dark brown colour. The flavour is quite roasted with some lactic notes. Farty roasted notes in the finish. The lactic aspect is a bad idea in this one, I think.

(12oz bottle, thanks artusory) Clear copper body topped by small beige head. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, cherry, light roast, bog water. Taste is sweet, caramel, light soy, burnt, brown sugar. Watery, sticky medium body

Deep brown, gentle off-white head consists of thin lacing. First sniff lets expect a rather thin beer unfortunately. Nose mostly appears as a peat malt and toffee mix. On the tongue, there’s still quite a lot of that peat malt, developping leather-like flavors. Mild lactic and almost vegetably components. A bit watery. Short finish.
