Deep dark brown coloured body with a lighter brown at the bottom and a thinnish, single centimetre tall light brown head. Aroma of funky permanent marker, sour grapes, metal, mushrooms, alcohol and more bitter funk - not so pleasant. Medium-bodied; Rich malty flavour at first with a big sweetness from caramel and toffee and a lot of unfinished molasses and brown sugar notes as well. Aftertaste shows a rich coffee and chocolate overtone, but the malt still hits hard. Overall, a decent beer that shows some good characteristics, but probably hasn’t aged much over time, but at least, kept it’s profile and robustness. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Sherbrooke Liqours in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 27-December-2008 on my last trip to Western Canada, sampled a few hours before leaving back out West [Canada], sampled at home in Washington on 04-June-2015, and yes, this bottle is 6.5 years old.

Pours quite cloudy dark orange golden into the glass with a fine off white head. Ok lacing down the sides of the glass. A bit sweet dried fruity, toffee and hoppy aroma. A fine medium + body. A little bit unbalanced sweetness versus bitterness. Not cloying in any way. Just a bit to much over to the sweet side. Soft carbonation. Nice complex flavor with dried fruit, resinous, some pine, raisins and quite hoppy. Decent and ok dipa, although a bit to much over to the sweet side for my likings.

Smooth and intense viscous beginning. Lots of wood, nice intense whisky aroma. The mainpart is thick, nice roasted malt, moderate bitterness. Intense and great whisky aroma with the great and deep sticky malty body. The aftertaste is long, intense dark, dried plums in whisky with lots of wood. Absolutely great. Hints of bitterness, round!
