Thanks to ilovedarkbeer for this one. Quite a distinct aroma, molasses, grape, scotch, vanilla and alcohol. Pours with a small, creamy, off-white head that goes away completely, but leaves some decent lacing on the sides. Body is a dark amber-brown. Tastee is smooth maltiness with a hint of scotch. Very drinkable and somewhat sweet. Nearly a creamy body with some soft carbonation.

Caramel malts on the nose, buttery, slightly metallic, with traces of brown sugar. Dark brown, medium tan head, good lacing. Relatively sweet caramel malt and brown sugar. Potency is good, mouthfeel is slightly thin. Delayed hop finish that never really gets there. The sweetness at midpalate doesn’t work for me, but otherwise it is fine. Somewhat unique.

12oz bottle-pours a retaining tan head and mahogany color. Aroma is medium/dark malt-caramel, peat. Taste is dark malt-caramel/molasses, eat, dark fruit-plum/raisin, some hops bite. Nice Schwarz-scotch ale, occasional. OK carbonation.

Pours a dark brown colour with a thick, creamy off-white head. Smells like the smokiness from a single-malt along with some malts. Tastes of caramel, like a more harcore Wealther’s Original... A bunch of malts are definately present along with some fruits and some alcohol. Creamy mouthfeel as well. Pretty damn good.

Somehow I have never had this, but it was a good surprise and far better than I expected. The aroma has full malt and an earthy aroma as well. Flavor is sweet on a heavy beer. Rich port is in there, a touch of smoke, rotting fruit. This is just what the style should be and at a good price.

330ml bottle. Dark red/brown body with a beige head. Rather little and plain aroma. Flavor is plain malt sweetness with a hint of alcohol.

Bottled. Deep red with a small beige head. Weak nose with malt and beef-stock. Weak flavor as well, with a sweetish, caramel-like twist. Medium body and a finish with alcohol and sugar. A weak beer, not overly impressive, yet it is not bad. (070302)

Poured a translucent dark brown with copper hues with a foamy, lacing white head. Malty aroma could be sensed a foot away with grainy aromas up close. Flavor is heavy alcohol, maple, brown sugar and toffee. Heavy, syrupy mouthfeel, like a barley wine. Nice beer, but not a session brew.

Bottle. Pours deep, dark brown. Malt taste, nice bitterness at the end, with alcohol (it is a scotch ale, after all).
