Notes from 1/2/2009. Soggy coaster notes courtesy of ncvbc & bboven. I got the privileged of trying most of Highland's staple lineup between them, yet I only managed to legibly record this one. Poured straight down the middle of a standard lop-sided DFH pint glass. A sturdy inch & change of sandy tan head throwing whipped wavelengths as it regressed. Dusty cocoa, dairy creamer/nougat, bare notion of roast, a petty amount of zest finishing off the nose. A watery anticipation, but it gets stickier as it warms. Everything is on the milder side of mild. Light lactose opening, followed by a very chalky introduction to everything else: sharp & charred caramel, lightly nutty, with an overall mellow roast. Feel is more scratchy or cat tongue-like, then the velvet type of qualities I associate with oatmeal beers. Soothing in a numbing sort of way. Negligible alcohol. A definite dryness on the tail end that consumes the finish & lends itself to more stoutly comparisons(& room for one more bottle).

6 week old can from mixed 12 pack A: Poured 1 pf tan froth atop a black brown body. Good retention and thick lace. S: Mostly dark chocolate, roasty coffee and faint molasses. T: Bitter and roasty coffee and unsweetened chocolate up front. Faint molasses or toffee and even an herbal hop note toward the end. M: Low but prickly carbonation, a smooth texture and ashy finish. O: Simple and no nonsense. Bitter and roasty. Quite good.
