Sep 24, 2009 Tried a bottle of this for the first time, tonight. Colour... dark walnut with garnet hues. Nose... spice, molasses, turbinado and treacle sirup. Palate... a quick froth of C02 followed by slightly tangy burnt sugar, dark brown sugar, Christmas cake, sailor jack, dark raisins, golden sirup, and a long finish with hints of coriander! Here’s to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Stewarts, Frasers, Farquharsons, Camerons, Macintoshes and Macdonalds who fought with him on that fateful day at Culloden in 1746!!

Sep 23, 2009 Bottle, thanks to hobbersr. Nose is sour patch kids, cough syrup, brown sugar, and spice. Palate is more sour candies, sugar cubes, and the flavor that makes mini-marshmallows taste different from their more conventional brethren, plus brandy, apples, cherry lollipops and sasparilla root. Very unique.

Sep 23, 2009 disappointed. didn’t get any of the much talked about complexity to savour. A decent but unexceptional brew with treacle, liquorice, cherry and smokiness. Not all that subtle or balanced and not as rich in flavour as expected. Probably one to come back to.

Sep 20, 2009 330 mL bottle. Pours brown with a medium white head. Great and unique aroma, with the coriander reminding me of red fruits (strawberry and cherry), along with some dark fruits. Flavor has dark fruits and a bit of coriander along with smoke and a touch of citrus. Pretty good.

Sep 19, 2009 Pours light brown with a thin head. Very aromatic, tons of red fruit, raspberry, watermelon, red licorice, 5 cent candies (like you got at 7-11 when you were a kid) and cheap perfume. Tastes of perfume, fresh oak, wood smoke, and again, gummy candy.

Sep 7, 2009 Dark brown with a low head. Malty aroma with notes of spice and basement. The flaavour is dominated by liquorice and spices. Port like resemblances.

Aug 25, 2009 12oz bottle. dark deep brown pour with a thin tan head that leaves a ring. aroma of plums, raisins and brown sugary malts. taste wasn’t what I was expecting for some reason. slick thin to medium palate makes any strong flavors fly right by. catch bits of toffee, yeast and lemon. finishes up nicely with roasted spices and a yeasty sourness. left me wanting more - always the ultimate compliment.

Aug 25, 2009 Bottle. I tried this a while ago and didn’t think much of it but I’m glad I decided to give it another go. Pours dark brown with a lasting beige head which leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma is caramel, malt, cinnamon and brown sugar, all of which feature in the flavour as well as a dash of chocolate and other spices. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel with a big body and long finish, this is a really great beer. Recommended.
