Bottle at Kookfest 2006. Very dark brown, lasting beige head. Hoppy aroma, too hoppy for a porter. Good charcoal in mouth, some sourness. Pretty good finish now tooo. Dryness on end. It gets better as it goes on.

This was a fairly average IPA with fewer interesting characteristics than this brewery’s American Pale Ale. Small white head atop a light yellow, clear body. The light hop aroma was mostly perfumey and the malts presented a nose of grain and straw. Lightly sweet in flavor with a moderate bitterness in the finish. The medium body had average carbonation and a slick texture.

Bottle at Kookfest 06. Amber colour, no head. Some hop, some herb. Malt is ok if a little candy sugarish. Bit like a French amber beer.

The nose is the best part of this beer. It’s full of citrus, orange, grapefruit, resin and celery. The pour yielded a small head and clear yellow/amber body. Its flavor was moderately bitter and could have stood a bit more sweetness. Moderate dryness in the finish which was dominated by bitterness. Medium body and comfortable mouthfeel. Average carbonation. Enjoyable.

Bottle from ross - the color and carbonation of this beer make it look almost exactly like a glass of coke (not very appealing) - aroma of minerals, lactose, weak coffee and a faint whiff of oatmeal - moderately hoppy and roasty - medium-dry, with a slight milky quality - light sweet cream, coffee and a hint of cocoa - slight caramel and chocolate malts linger for a while in the finish - not bad, but I would pass up a second helping.

Thanks to ross for this bottle - deep reddish-purple pour, with well-sustained, off-white head - nice smoke and peat presence, with hints of plum, chocolate and caramel, along with a fig-and-toffee, almost english barleywine aroma - the flavor is equal amounts dry and malty - dry cocoa and smokey qualities couple with medium caramel and chocolate malt swetness - light peat flavors - some gentle barleywine character from the aroma comes late to the flavor - slight alcohol warmth - a unique and tasty scotch ale - someone please send me some more!

12oz bottle-pours a white head with hazy yellow color. Aroma is a strong, different for me, hops. Taste follows. Good carbonation.

12oz bottle-pours a light tan head with copper color. Aroma is a good balance of malt & hops. Taste follows with a hops finishing with a bite. Good carbonation.
