Bottle shared with ericandersnavy. Poured a hazy dark amber with cream head. Nice lacing. Flavor was of caramel, fruit, spice, and a little smokey. Aroma was of sweet caramel with a hint of spice and nuts. Good beer.

Dec 13, 2009 bottle courtesy of boomer0813, thank you! pour is amzing! pours a dense orange brownish with tons of striations and crazy woodgrain like patterns throughout the pour! like nothing i’ve ever seen, awesome. aroma is sweet, malty, a hint of scotch/buttered rum. taste is a lil too sweet for me, but not all for this style, actually one of the better scotch ales i’ve had due to not being overly sweet. nice spicy notes, estery tinges, and even some nice tobacco notes. the mouthfeel is very nice, balanced, rich. it starts a bit lively, then quickly mellows into a soft creamy mid and finish. way to represent H-Town!

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle from ericandersnavy. Thanks a whole lot guy! Pours ruby orange with a five-finger off-white head. Smells like creme brulee. Medium body with virtually no carbonation. Really smooth caramel with peachy notes. It is one of a kind. Tobacco notes. After a long time - smoke. Where was that?

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle shared by bhensonb. Pours into a thistle glass with a reddish brown color, a massive beige head and an alcohol aroma. The flavor is smoked malt with an emphasis on the smoke, and a strong alcohol sensation. There is also a bit of fruit and tobacco. I really like this one.

Dec 4, 2009 Pours dark amber-brown, appears very cloudy. Aroma of biscuit, caramel, and dominate with alcohol with notes of earthy hops, smoke, and vanilla. Body is full, with a thick and creamy texture. Taste is dominated by alcohol, followed by sweet, smokey malt, and a finish that brings a bit of bitterness that reminds you its a beer.

Nov 29, 2009 bottle courtesy of a trade, pours a rich hazy mahogany with a medium tan head. Aroma is burnt brown sugar and raisins with some yeast. Tasty toasted malt and green raisins mix with brown sugar, plum, and a smoked peated malt. Really nice flavors going on, mildly creamy with small pockets of carbonation. Really nice brew!

Nov 29, 2009 another one shared by rusty on 9/27/09.
coppery brown color with a slight haze and a small off white head.
big blast of toasted pecans and walnuts in the nose... followed by sweet malt, chocolate, warm smoke and some fruitiness (not 100% on which?).
the flavor is nutty, grainy and sweet with added notes of chocolate, earthy spice, toffee and smokiness. a light bitterness comes in on the finish to help everything move off the palate.
it is medium bodied though seemingly thinner and dangerously easy to put away. alcohol is drying while the carbonation is creamy and smooth. 7/3/7/3/15/3.5
