A dark and powerful brew named after the Wolf of Badennoch, infamous for burning down Elgin cathedral in 1390. Enjoy by a roaring fire!

500 ml bottle. Clear, dark brown body with a big, but fast disappearing beige head. Aroma has light roasted, dark malt, liquorice and hint of alcohol. Flavor is medium sweet, light roasted dark malt, liquorice and hint of dry fruit. Medium body, close to be a bit weak, roasted malt in aftertaste that ends up with a faint hint of peat. Drinkable, but rather one-dimensional and not particular elegant.

Bottle at home. Has a clear, deep reddish brown with a big, beige head. Aroma of caramel, liquorice, roasted malt, cocoa and some herbs. The flavor is filled with caramel, dark berries, leather, heather honey and some brown sugar and coffee. Has a slick mouth feel, and a light bitterness. A sweet and a little complex strong ale. Nice.

(bottle) Clear, mahogany colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Dark and toasted malty aroma with notes of caramel, bready accents and a dark and dried fruity touch. Sweet flavour, medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Dark and mildly toasted malt character with nutty notes, bread, caramel/Blockmalz and fruit confit; sweet and mildly toast-malty finish with loads of caramel, traces of chocolate and mildly fruity notes and a late arriving bitterness. 25.I.15

500ml bottle picked up at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Clear rosewood coloured body. Decent off-white head with good retention and solid lacing. Good looking, indeed. Slightly smoked malty nose, mid-sweet dark malts as well. Similar malt driven taste of roasted grainy malts, earth and ash. Medium bodied. A likable all-malty beer, a little unvaried perhaps (Tromsø 07.02.2015).

Bottle: Almost clear, deep ruby-amber coloured, presumably lively carbonation, causing a stable off-White foamy layer; Aroma of sweet raisins and caramel with a port-vinous touch, chocolate is detectable as well; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied, quite soft; drier lingering chocolatey and dark-malty finish. Nice brew...

Bottle. An almost clear looking dark reddish brown beer with a dense, finger-thick light beige colored head. Some curtains. The aroma has diacetyl, dried fruits, some roasted malts and a chocolate touch. Caramel. Some faint notes of butterscotch in the flavor too, Quite hop bitter, with a piney hint in the back. It’s full-bodied and semi-dry, pleasantly carbonated. Lasting roasted, caramel finish with a fine bitterness and some diacetyl notes. Except for the diacetyl it’s a decent beer, but there’s nothing impressive going on. 150131
