Purchased at Vas Foremost in Chicago, IL before my band played a house show; enjoyed then and on a night trying to make the most complex split pea soup I can make and probably failing at that. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, reminded me of a coffee stout that I homebrewed with Trader Joe’s dark roast coffee beans. Appearance pure black with a rich, creamy off-white head. Aroma of an immense dark roast coffee, smells like they just threw whole beans into the fermentation. Taste is of immense dark roast coffee notes, they definitely dominate the brew, and it has a nice lactose/milky backing while being a little more thin than a stout which is what I like from a porter. Also a hint of chocolate in there, but really this one is just a coffee bomb and I’m into it.

Deep dark hazy brown coloured body with a thick dense tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, metal, pit fruits and a good bit of caramel and nuts - strong, yet showing some good characteristics. Medium-bodied; Pungent and strong roasted malt with a little earth, a lot of pit fruit sweetness and a little metallic note. Aftertaste shows a touch dry palate, some light sweetness and a lot of malty and pungent alcohol aftertones - decent. Overall, a good strong ale, bordering on the edge of a barleywine, but rightfully son, not declared as one. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Safeway in Des Moines (SeaTac), Washington two days ago on 04-March-2011 sampled in our B&B in Kauai, Hawaii on 06-March-2011.

More of a Scottish ale here - pours a hazy amber - earthy, peaty nose, with a bit of oak, metallic/copper character, bright fruitiness and fairly strong vegetal notes - body is thin and watery - dry and earthy flavor, with some dirt and peat - oak through the middle is potent and borderline bitter - a bit of vanilla on the tail end - a hint of the maltiness that could have been comes in the finish - pretty bad, really.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of mflat and fruit, leading to a dry finish, where the fruit note lingers.
