Bottled. A pitch black beer with a huge brown head - due to a high level of carbonation. The aroma is sweet with notes of chocolate, coffee, and hard roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with strong chocolaty notes giving it slightly acidic notes, the hops giving it a quite bitter end.

Aroma of nutmeg, maybe cardamom and coriander. Orange gold color with a white/beige head that laces somewhat. Whoa! It’s like incense. Creamy, full mouthfeel, but what are these flavors? A Wit? There is some hop in the finish, but mosty it is spice, herb and ?orange?. Never had anything like this before. It’s good. Maybe Wits have to be enhanced for Christmas. This is really different. Good, though!!!!

Huge piny aroma. Slightly hazy amber color with that ferocious real ale head. The head tends to lace. Very smooth and decent mouthfeel. The resin immediately kicks in. There’s malt, and I suppose the hops would be too much without it. Still, this is hops all the way. The finish is a bit, very small bit floral, and the finish is hop jumping all over the malt. Really good. As time goes on, I see why mango has been mentioned. This stuff only improves as the temperature rises!

A very light mixed aroma of malt and hop. Darkish amber color with white head that laces a bit. Smooth and creamy start of decent but not overly strong hop. Some malt does arrive for the finish. Served at a reasonable temperature; close your eyes and you’re in England. Another great Moylan’s product.

Cask at the brewpub. Malty aroma. Reddish amber color with a beige head that laces a bit. Starts medium malty, smooth and creamy, medium mouthfeel. The hop bitterness only arrives towards the finish, and balances the remaining malt.

Purchased in La Mesa, CA at BevMo 10/06. Seems a bit past it’s prime. 22 oz bomber poured dark with tall brown head. The aroma is light and consists of chocolate, coffee and burnt malts. The flavor is big burnt malts and roasted malts. Behind that is coffee, chocolate, caramel and slivers of vanilla. This one ended up with big carbonation and had no sense of the ABV.

Purchased in La Mesa, CA at BevMo 10/06. Seems a bit past it’s prime. 22 oz bomber poured slightly hazy copper to red/orange and had a fluffy light tan head. The aroma was of sweet caramel, dark fruit, a bit of yeast and sweet pine hops. The flavor is similar to the aroma with caramel and chocolate maltiness, dark fruit and a soft muted pine hoppiness. It sure doesn’t seem like a 10 ABV beer. No sense of the alcohol.

Purchased in La Mesa, CA at BevMo 10/06. 22oz bomber poured out in a nice deep copper color with thin tan head. Light aroma of sweet and roasted malts along with a slight pine and citrus hoppiness. The flavor is big sweet malts to roasted malts to something like vanilla, maple syrup and a vague fruitiness. Nice. In the background is a soft muted hop flavor that sneaks in about midway.
