 Angeloregon (1898), Portland, Oregon, USA
Jul 29, 2008 Big bottle from By The Bottle in Vancouver--Poured a brown-amber-chestnut body with a quickly dissipating fluffy beige head. Nutty, earthy, smoky, and sweet malty nose. Mild molasses and chocolate flavors mask a emboldened alcohol presence. Very good beer!

Jul 15, 2008 Brown pour with tan head and lace. A bit of sour and brown sugar on the nose. Large brown sugar and malt on the flavor. A bit thin and watery. Drinkable but not hugely special.

Jul 11, 2008 Ahh this brew will always be fat bastard to me. Good to get this out in Ohio via trade. This was the 1st scotch I ever had and I didn’t even know it at the time back in Silverdale OH in my old Navy days. Aroma is sweet malt and maple syrup and some alcohol. Nice velvety smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is malty sweet with a smoky scotch finish that gives just a little bit of alcohol but not too much. Love the fatty bastard.

Jun 14, 2008 Appearance: Pours a dark brown body with a small, ivory-colored head.
Smell: Sweet-smelling, malty aroma full of dark fruits, toasted caramel, peat, Grade-B maple syrup, and a non-full hint of chocolate.
Taste: Dark malts with a sweetness reminiscent of downing simple syrup, maple syrup, and caramel sauce. Rich, intense fruitiness with tastes of raisins and figs. Slight smokey scotch character. A drop of chocolate. Sweet, smokey finish with a touch of alcohol warmth.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Slight stickiness to the mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Decent enough, sure, but boy oh boy is it sweet.
