Feb 3, 2005 I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve had this. Pours burnt sienna with aroma of huge malt, some dark fruit, toffee, and caramel. Tastes very malty, with big toffee, caramel, some chocolate, and slight tobacco at the finish. Smooth, slightly ascerbic finish, and very well balanced and complex, as is the case with all Brian O’Reilly beers. BOR rules!

Feb 1, 2005 Poured a lightly hazy, brownish red color with a thin, light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast, light chocolate, sweet caramel, butterscotch, and light anise? Taste of roasted caramel malt, nuts, light chocolate and smoke too. Finished with light, peppery alcohol. Very nice.

May 3, 2008 Clear a transparent amber ruby with a spotty-lacing light tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel smoky peat and a touch of light fruity esters. Starts with good fullness and malty sweetness. Finishes slightly drier and warming with some peppery smoky character. A pretty decent Scotch ale.
