More of a Scottish ale here - pours a hazy amber - earthy, peaty nose, with a bit of oak, metallic/copper character, bright fruitiness and fairly strong vegetal notes - body is thin and watery - dry and earthy flavor, with some dirt and peat - oak through the middle is potent and borderline bitter - a bit of vanilla on the tail end - a hint of the maltiness that could have been comes in the finish - pretty bad, really.

Shipped to me by my wife on a trip to Portland this beer poured a dark brown color with a medium sized tan head that faded and produced some lacing. the aroma was bourbon, brown sugar, caramel, nut and vanilla. The flavor was malty and sweet with notes of nut, caramel, brown sugar and vanilla. The finish was long and malty with vanilla and bourbon lingering. Fairly full bodied. Nice.

Bottle: Pours a lighter chestnut brown with a modest creamy beige head. Nice bits of sticky lacing. Aroma is weak; peaty, malty, and hints of wood. Some peat, caramel, and chocolate in the taste before a bland barrel aged note takes over. Sort of a weak, stale whiskey thing. Not real good.

Bottle. Poured dark red with medium creamy head. Little lacing. Malty aroma with toffee notes. Malty flavour with a bit of vanilla from the barrel and a tiny bit of smokiness. Malty finish without being sweet.
