On tap at Explorium - Milwaukee, pours a murky dark mahogany, no head. Aroma is very rich and malty, with tons of dark dried fruits, toffee, caramel, brown sugar, and gentle bourbon. Flavour is extremely sweet, which masks some of the booze, bringing out cloyingly sweet caramel, toffee, big bourbon, alcohol, and brown sugar. Way too sweet, hot, and rough. It�s good some good things going on but the flaws are too detracting for it to be drinkable in more than an ounce.

On tap at Explorium - Milwaukee, pours a dark ruby red with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of dark dried fruits, esters Belgian yeast, and caramel. Flavour is fairly sweet, with dark dried fruits, booze, and ester. Needs more carb and generally better expression of the Belgian yeast, but this is reasonably done. Not bad for an American Belgian.

On tap at Explorium - Milwaukee, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma is messed up � there�s some kind of infection here I can�t quite place (diacetyl, butyric? Because it�s a scotch ale, I�m having trouble placing it). I can�t believe I�m going to take a sip� Flavour is almost as bad, with bitter caramel�that must be diacetyl�and a dry, astringent finish. This is big time messed up.

On tap at Explorium - Milwaukee, pours a deep dark red with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of toasted bready malt and caramel�seems like it�ll be sweeter than it should be. Flavour is very malty but dry enough, with toasted dry caramel, bready malt, and a metallic tinge that shouldn�t be there. The maltiness and dryness are there, but it�s a bit too metallic. Okay.

On tap at Explorium - Milwaukee, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of resinous hops, sweet caramel malt, and a touch of pine. Flavour is balanced between sweet caramel malt and oily resinous hops. Sweet and malty, but the hops are strong enough to impart plenty of bitterness to balance. Pretty solid.
