Scored this 12oz bottle as an extra in a trade with SmokePot23. Thanks Joe! Pours a translucent, copper, bronze amber with a thin, creamy white head. Aroma is exactly what I like out of big malt bombs, plenty of sugary notes, a little peat, slightly boozy, a little bit of leather, dark fruits, cookies and crackers. Could have used a bit more hop in the nose. Flavor goes wrong a little bit, more cookies, crackers and biscuits, but there’s also some strange, slightly off, corn mash like hard sweetness. Dry finish with some burn from the alcohol. More abrasive than it needs to be.

12oz bottle. Thick chestnut brown color. Very sweet, shows it’s alcohol. Dark and sticky. Caramel malt, lots of its, very thick and sugary. Pungently woody and sour, reminiscent of some Belgian Scottish Ales. OK.

Bottle thanks to TURDFERGUSON. Marked as best before 07/09. Pours with a small, light brown head that fades and a clear, auburn hued body. Aroma of brown sugar, port, strong sticky toffee, vinous, raisins, light smoke, peat and graham cracker. Taste is maple, peat, smoke and booze, not quite as deep or nice as the aroma. Syrupy mouthfeel, light bubbles.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Suttree. Best before 07 09 notched on bottle. Pour is hazed ruby brown with a smallish light tan head. Aroma is floral sweet caramel, and not too much else. The aroma is very soft, faint and rounded. Taste is a twangy bitter sweet caramel sweetness, with a nice dose of peatiness and malt. The sweetness borders on cloying. The finish is very much peat, earthy and lingering. The taste is much more forward than the nose. The floral hoppiness is in the finish as well. Palate is medium, mouth coating and a bit slick at the same time. This beer is quite complex and tasty, thanks for sending my way Phil!

Thanks to Rogueone for sharing a 2007 bottle. This brew is a hazed brownish-amber color with a minimal light beige head that disappears relatively fast. Thin rings of lacing. Peat malt and sweet caramel in the nose. Rich, sweet body with flavors of earthy malt, caramel, toffee and a touch of alcohol smoldering in the background. The finish is sweet caramel malt with a lingering smoked malt aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Thanks Santa! Huge aroma, loaded with sugary toffee bready malts, and deep persimmon and date fruitiness. Just very bready. Appealing dark red color, purplish tinge, thin layer of fine bubbled head, short lived. Modest lacing. Very heady in the mouth, with alcohol and fruit swirling over the palate and sending wafts of retronasal aromas back up. Finish is burnt sugar, a little grainy on the sides provides some complexity, with a light bitterness to keep it in the realm of balance. Heavy but easy palate. Pretty sweet on the whole.

Bottle in a trade from Degarth. Thanks man! It’s a sad state of affairs when I have to get a beer from Florida that is brewed in a state that is 3 hours away. Pours a reddish chocolate brown with a one finger head. Very strong and complex aroma of rum, chocolate, cola and brown sugar. Strong caramel flavor rounded out by a bit of yeasty sourness. Nice texture. Very nice.

12oz bottle pours crystal clear amber with thin tan head. Full aroma of dark fruity esters of dates, prunes and bright deep red cherry candy. Behind the fruitiness I get caramel and faint earthiness. The taste is much like the aroma with an initial bolt of dark fruitiness from prunes, ripe cherries, dates and raisins. Midway sweet caramel surfaces along with some faint earthiness. Into the finish the dark fruity esters return with a mild pepper quality. A little too much with the dark fruity esters for the style. Still very enjoyable.
