Oct 13, 2007 So, the bottle reads "a potent liquor as brewed by the Laird in the ancient Brew House of the oldest inhabited house in Scotland." wow. Pours dark reddish-brown but clear. Distinct peaty notes, which I like. Dry and hoppy. herbal but not fruity. Licorice in the aftertaste.

Oct 5, 2007 330 ml bottle. Deep red cherry brown with thin tan head. Nose is dark fruits, roasted figs, brown sugar, vanilla beans, lightly roasted coffee beans and some oaky notes as well...packed with layers of great smells! Flavors of woody smoked dark fruits, bready notes and ends with slightly bitter roasted coffee. Palate is a soft and smooth, with some light acidity. Very nice beer.

Oct 4, 2007 33 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Deep copper, clear, smallish tan head.
Aroma: Big dark fruits, molasses, brown sugar, burnt sugar, caramel, cookie dough, vanilla, a little (almost) chocolate, a touch earthy and woody; rum, a bit of lighter fruit (like peaches and cherries, maybe), some bread, a little yeast; deep, rich and inviting!
Palate: Medium body, soft carbonation, smooth.
Flav.: Burnt sugar and “altbier malts” preside, the fruitiness is very subdued, definitely some wood , including vanilla, a bit of alcohol; dry, very dry; residual is a bit solvent-like with a little nuttiness and some lingering dry malt flavours.
When I hear “house ale”, I think “house wine” and this would be really kick ass as the run-of-the-mill offering. Doesn’t hold up to Jacobite, but maybe it shouldn’t have to.

Sep 30, 2007 Dark amber colour with a bubbly pour accompanied by a small bubbly head. Aroma consists of citrus and yeast. Flavor of citrus, lime, and tangy hops. Quite a bitter finish which is the only negative, to my tastes at least. Might make a nice beer for a cold day. I’d have another.
