Bottle. Dark brown, almost black, with a touch of red. Nice tan colored head, rather fine bubbles. Sweet malt aroma. Caramel, dried fruits, raisins. Sweet flavor. Full-on malt with caramel, raisins, a touch of chocolate and coffee. Not very bitter, though the alcohol balances it a bit, as does the small amount of roasted flavor. Not a lot of hops, for sure. Malt and alcohol finish. Very nice. A great dessert beer, a warmer. Thick and rich. I am enjoying it thoroughly.

Overall Impression: A pretty enjoyable beer, I like this one, it isn't one of the best beers on earth, but for it's availability, it is pretty darn good. Nice brew.

(11/14/08) Bottle at friends’ house in Philadelphia. Dark brown color with a medium stable beige head. Big malty nose with raisins, a bit of prunes, caramel, light woody notes and hints of cocoa. Very sweet malty flavor with dark fruits, burnt brown sugar and a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied. Too sweet for me but really not bad.

Deep red-brown colour. Rich aroma of dried fruits and a scent of alcohol. Flavour is too sweet and the alcohol is too prominent in this beer.

Bottle....medium brown with just scattered off white bubbles....smells of sweet scotch mingled with delicate malts....taste is very similar to aroma yet sweeter...and with an added saltiness in the mid palate...lively slightly creamy body and a light boozy finish

12 fl oz bottle. Pours dakr brown and clear with a slowly collapsing light tan head. Mild spiced, breadish and light fruity aroma. Flavour is dark fruity and roasted malty. Light fruity and roasted malty finish. Nice and smooth.

Pours mahogany into a thistle. Beige micro head with excellent retention leaves sheet lacing as it recedes to coat surface. Unpleasant sour/bitter earth aromas. Bitter and nasty chocolate with a sour lasting finish. uh, uh - drainpour.

Bottle, 8.0%. Peppery and yeasty aroma. Clear and beautiful very dark brown colour. Small frothy light brown head. Creamy and vinous flavour, good alcohol level. Some vanilla. Nice and sweet with warming alcohol, I like it.

Bottle. Thick, rich and syrupy sweet, this is one malty beer. The dark brown/black body sits below a big, off-white head that disappears. The strong aroma is sweet with caramel, maple syrup, roasted malts, overripe prunes. There is a hint of something earthy and old, perhaps peat. (The bottle is from ’07, but the exact month is illegible.) The flavor is heavily sweet and lightly bitter. There is a licorice taste in the finish. Full body, syrupy texture, sticky finish. The temp at the beginning was 50 degrees, but both the aroma and flavor improved as the beer warmed up.
