22oz Bottle Poured next to the 2007 and 2009 Perfect Storm. This was a fun little round-up. Pours out dark brown topped with a cream head. Aroma was bread malts, light hops, molasses, caramel, and some heat. Taste was as the aroma with a good amount of sweetness, pit fruit, and heat.

Bottle@SBWF2010. Deep rubyish brown colour with a mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is liquorice, toffee, some sweet maltyness, mild red berries, plum as well as some slight alcohol. Flavour is very similar in a nice balance. Also has some slight spicy notes. Still a bit fresh, so the alcohol gives quite a burn.

Bottle at Craig’s, Edinburgh tasting, big thanks to Craig for this beer I think he got this one. Shared in company of Craig, Stella, Jan, Charlotte, Fritz and Loz 30.10.10 This has a decent nose, it’s got a soft maltiness to it with some sticky dark sugar’s. Really boozy, it’s fine but no different to 101 other beer’s of this style I’ve had. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 3.0

Bottled. Clear reddish brown, no head. Sweet with peat and caramel. Clean but with depth. Full bodied and mildly flavourful with chocolate and peat building up to a warming finish.

Draught at the brewpub. Dark ruby, fairly rich head. Strong aroma of toffee and balsamic berries. Sweet and very malty with beautifully soft mouthfeel. Thick with some molasses and plenty of warming alcohol. Strong, salty bitter finish. Incredibly rich, but maybe still too sweet. Probably the best of the four Stormwatchers served at one tray, and this is not a small accomplishment.

dark brown color, white head, huge dark chocolate , brown sugar, burnt raisins, truffles, dark cherries, brownies, caramel, slight alcohol burn in the nose. Very full bodied rich, lots of dark fruit and brownies, tons of truffles, raisins , very very rich well balanced. Lingering truffles and dark chocholate drowned in brown sugar and molasses. Fucking incredible.

An intensely rich, thick and syrupy brew showing signs of burnt raisins, port, brown sugar, caramel and milk chocolate. The alcohol is definetely noticeable in the finish, but it just shows that even after two years this baby could rest another five, before it needs to wake up. The malt backbone seemed to be somewhat German, which was odd for the style, but it seemed to work.
