Nov 30, 2006 Bottle-poured reddish brown w/a slight tan head. Had a nice sweet roasted malt aroma. Had a bitter malt flavor of an English Ale, but had a little more hops than some. Had some roasted nuts, toffee, brown sugar, w/a slight smoked flavor. Long smooth finish w/some carbination. Alcohol is well hidden. Good brew.

Nov 27, 2006 Bottle 52F Pint. Big strong malty aroma, great sweetness, no preceptible hop fragrances. Dark brown in color, fairly opaque, great brown head that faded quickly. Tons of rich dark malts, slight smokiness, oak is definately noticble. The taste is quite warm and very delicious, yet 7.2abv was not perceptible. Mouthfeel was medium with nice carbonation. A very tasty beer, and enjoyable but at $6 a bottle its a bit expensive to enjoy often.

Nov 25, 2006 Bottle. Pours a dark mahogany colour, tiny tan head that disappears instantly. Aroma is dark malt, banana, peat, sweet quite strong alcohol. Plum and autumnal fruits in there too. Initial mouthfeel is quite carbonated, taste is smooth, inoffensive, still some banana there, sweet malt, some woodiness that continues right to the end, with some plum showing towards the end. Has a little bit of a bitter attack on the swallow. Excellent, not too heavy, not too bitter, not too alcoholic in the mouth. Well rounded and a joy.

Nov 22, 2006 From a 33 cl. bottle poured dark amber color with smallish head. Carbonation is low. Malt aroma along with smell of fermented dark brown sugar. Very smooth and well balanced. Can smell the alcohol, but no overwhelming alcohol taste. I detect a bit of peat/iodine appropriate for the scots style. Very nice. I’ll have another.

Nov 19, 2006 bottle shared with Crackedkettle at the Cracked Kettle in A’dam: pours a nice dark brown amber color with a smallish head. Aroma is very nice with malty, woody aroma. A beer that would go very well next to the fire. Flavors are much the same as the nose. Very balanced matlyness though that does not go in the direction of being overly sweet. It quite an enjoyable and apporachable beer. Medium heavy palate.

Nov 17, 2006 7.2% ABV 11.2 oz bottle. Brown to copper color with creamy tan head. Rich malty aroma of sweet caramel, molasses, dark fruitiness, faint vanilla and a touch of alcohol. Smooth flavors that meld together. Starts off with semi sweet malts then the sweetness strengthens as with cherry fruitiness and molasses enter the flavor fray. Very nice malty tasting brew.
