Jul 10, 2007 Sampled at the RBSG ’07 Grand Tasting. Nice to see another retired brew shared with the guests. From a 750 ml bottle, this pours a near opaque dark brown brew with creamy off-white head. Aroma of rich caramel, vanilla, and some smoked peat. Taste is llightly carbonated, medium bodied with some cotton candy, dry pitted dark fruit and some chocolate malt. Finish is smooth, creamy and a slight acidic aftertaste.

Jul 3, 2007 This is an excellent Scotch ale. The aroma has smoke, earth, and malt. Flavor is roasted malt and very earthy as well. This beer is all about the malt and there is no hop presence. Just a touch of sugar. It could be a little thick, but quite exceptional as it is.

Dec 24, 2006 25.87 oz bottle. Vintage date 3-18-04? ... a bit smudged. Dark choco-brown with a thin tan film. Chocolate, molasses, tobacco and peat. Similar in taste. A little oily, but the smokiness is beautifully mellowed. This has knitted together very well over time. Not too sweet or too sharp. A scotch ale without the thistles. Nice.

Aug 2, 2006 Big props to smokeykhan for bringing this to my tasting! 2002 vintage. Dark brown with an off white head. Caramel and spice nose, sweet malt. The flavor is sweet malt, with tinges of whiskey and smoke. Absolutely delicious! One of my favorites among the many great beers we had!
