Aug 6, 2008 Lots of caramel in this one. Pours dark, nice aroma ... but ultimately not as satisfying to me as the Traquair House Ale. I’m willing to drink more, though, in the name of science.

Aug 3, 2008 Pours a murky, red brown with a medium khaki head that fades fast but rings the glass. Very spicy, caramel malt, and Belgian yeast bready aroma. Very sweet cherry, orange flavor for the start but then some dried spice flavors carry it over to a dry floral finish. Kind of tart and woody in a way too. Deep and revealing.

Aug 2, 2008 12 oz botlle from my secret santa. best before june 2014. pours deep dark brown with very little cabonation and no head. unique aroma. coriander, hops and dark malts. flavours are similar. i can honestly say ive never had a beer that tastes anything like this. id be interested in trying this one with a little age on it. some thinness held it back but overall very enjoyable and something i know i goin to want some time in the future. thanks santa.

Jul 26, 2008 In the bottle from HyVee CB. Pours such a dark brown that you’d confuse it for being black. Almost no head at all when poured, but once the beer is in the glass, if you swirl it, you can generate a nice reddish ochre looking head. The aroma is of plums and licorice. This is a flat beer that is medicine-like in a fowl way. I am greatly disappointed by this after reading all the hype. The spices just don’t seem to be pleasant to my taste. This is definitely thinner in body than I would have expected for a beer that is almost rated a 4. I’ll not likely ever drink this again.

Jul 21, 2008 (SCOTLAND) Pours a nice dark brown color with a sm white head. The aroma is of coco beans, dark fruit, and molasses. The taste is very malty with some vanilla, and licorice notes !!! You don’t taste the 8% in this brew which is very nice. So i must say this one was a total suprise for me, Do yourself a favor a get some. :)

Jul 18, 2008 Dark brown, Flat, malty, caramel, chocolate, little dark fruits, nutty, and spice. It kind of reminds me of flat cola. Must be a off bottle. Still not bad.

Jul 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of raisin, dark fruits, brown sugar, very sweet. Flavor strongly of brown sugar, raisins. Thick mouthfeel. This beer is sweet but not oppressing, reminds me of a calmer/more complex/less intense DFH Raison D’extra. Quite good.
