Аромат очень пряный, ощущается карамель,коричневый сахар, немного винный с намеком на крепкий алкоголь типа скотч. Цвет темно кровавый, прозрачный, практически без пены. Вкус в меру сладкий, сильно чувствуется коричневый сахар и немного карамели а также пряности. Немного остается осадок на языке. имеется отчетливый хлебный оттенок. Карбонизация слабая. Послевкусие уже ощущается резче и сильнее. На первое место выходят пряности, совсем немного алкоголя. Также имеется оттенок патоки. В целом очередной Шотландский топчик, но немного слабее его старшего брата.

Dark brown with a creamy, beige head. Big molasses aroma. Burnt grains. Raisins. Taste has a fruity sweetness, full of prunes, raisins and licorice with some burnt, bitter aftertones. Body to the full side of medium, mild carbonation, chewy, faint alcoholic warmth. Fairly intense. Definitely a slow sipper. Good one.

From Feb 2008

I got this in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks John!

It's been years since I had this:

It pours from 11.2oz bottle a dark brown that has a lot of reddish colour when held up to the light. Small and quickly disappearing head of foam with very little lacing.

The smell is very nice. Lots of dark fruit, caramel malt, fig, and some alcohol and butterscotch.

The taste is firstly dark fruit with plum and fig followed by some caramel malt and a bit of citrus that adds just a bit of tartness and bitterness for balance. Nice. The dark fruit is really ruling it and pretty much dominates the flavour several sips in and the alcohol is very well hidden with just some warming after the swallow. One fine sipper I have here. The mouthfeel is medium to medium full and it's lightly carbonated. Man, I wish I knew why I haven't bought it the times I made my visits to Colorado because I'm *really* enjoying the hell out of it. Highly recommended!

Color marrón rojizo muy oscuro, en apariencia casi negro, espuma blanco hueso de retención media-alta. Aroma intenso a malta caramelizada, pasas, ciruelas, higos maduros, caramelo, pan de centeno, melaza, arrope, al adquirir temperatura se sienten notas de vainilla. En boca es sedosa, cálida, redonda, de buena complejidad. Posee de entrada un dulzor medio muy maltoso con notas de frutos secos y fruta pasificada, perfectamente equilibrado con un final moderadamente amargo con notas herbales, terrosas y amaderadas. Un trago muy alegante y agradable.

Creamy off white head stayed a mahogany coloured body. Treacle, molasses & malt aroma. Medium to full bodied, greasy, smooth & sticky body. Berries, molasses, syrup, malt & liquorice tastes with a fruity finish. Good one
