12 oz bottle in a trade from Ernest, thank you. Well I got to give themk credit for their labels, simple yet intersting enough to look at. I juts cant tell if its a Scottish rabbit or Duck, damn these pranksters. Just got the package from Ernest, pulled it out and just started drinking it about 30 minutes since being home. I let the fact that the packege spent all day outside my door serve as the fridge. Pours dark rown with a small white head that soon fades away. Aroma is good Scotch Ale, very strong, peaty, sweat malt, slight caramel. But right up the ale of a good Scotch. Taste is similar, a bit more caramel coming out, the Scottish booziness is there. Earthy, wet forrest, all around. Some chocolate. Flavors meld pretty well. A bit light on body for me. Mouthfeel defeinitely has a prickly feel, not comfortable for a Scotch Ale. Low bitterness, finish is all Scotch Ale at the tail end with malty sweetness. No sense of hops at all, nice job on a style that is often hard to master.

There is only so much you can do with a brown ale and these guys took a good stab at it. It has lots of roasted nuts in the aroma. The beere is very dark brown and well carbonated with a thick head. Flavor is malt and definitely bitter with more nuts. Well hopped. Thanks Suttree.

Thanks to Suttree for this bottle. It doesn’t have the depth of the baltic porter, but the same heavy palate is there. Aroma much like an oatmeal stout. Flavor has light smoke and rare roast beef as well as popcorn. Black and oily appearance.

Bottled, thanks Immy! Very black, minimal brown head. Aroma of coffee and plums. Medium sweet with concentrated flavour of toffee, coffee, citrus and tar. The mouthfeel is compact, and the flavours are really intense and concentrated. I find notes of chocoalte pudding and blackberries. salty finish. More refined than the traditional rather crude examples of the style. Well worth it’s high rating!

Bottle pours a deep black with a large foamy brown head. Heavy blocy lacing. Aroma is some bitter coffee, dark roasted, charcoal notes. Flavor is similar, a nice balance of dark roats and sweet dark pitted fruits and bitter chocolate. Nice medley. Finish is the smokey bitterness of old campfires. Thanks to OhioDad for this one too
