Not as hearty as one would expect a winter ale to be, but as a brown ale, it is certainly unique - quite spicy and nutty, with loads of dry cocoa and slight sweetness - subtle background caramel and bready malt - not great, but quite drinkable.

Bottle. Ashy molasses malt aroma. Opaque dark brown color with small tan head. Sweet molasses malt throughout with astringent hops flavor coming in soon after. Bitterness lasts long after swallowing. Nice beer - strong on the bitterness and astringency.

Pours a deep gold with a thick, long lasting head of creamy bone-colored foam. The flavor is delivered smoothly and is full and well rounded. Sweet malt and hops fall into balance in this one. Not too bad.

Bottle. Burnt sugar, oats and hops aroma. Opaque black-brown color with small head. Burnt coffee flavor with moderate astringency - nicely blended and pretty strong for the style.

’04 750 ml bottle I thought that this one was retired since it came in the 750 bottle and is no longer listed on the Stoudt’s website. Pours dark brown with a thick creamy off-white head. Rich caramel aroma with some vanilla and a hint of smokiness. Creamy full bodied sweet brew that goes long inthe finish with a lightly acidic touch. Classic Scotch Ale.

tap into a half gallon jug; got this of the tap from a local distributor. Pours dark brown but closer to black with little head. To me it smells like black bread, not the wonder bread but real black bread. Some aftertaste of chocolate and nuts but nothing dominate. Its an ok beer overall.
