650mL bottle, split with manuchampions, Matts_Property and uhlan, pours a deep dark brown / black with a small beige head. Aroma of oak chips, vanilla, slight molasses, roasted malt and spices (cinnamon and nutmeg). Flavour of tobacco, sweetened chocolate (like an O'Henry chocolate bar), but this dies off, vanilla, no presence of the oak or spices. Nothing offensive, but neither remarkable. Solid attempt.

On tap at The Alibi Room for their 300th Beer Menu, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma of sour oak chips, wheat, hay, slightly stale notes, etc. Flavour is quite astringently sour with oak / whiskey, stale malts, cardboard, rye and other "off" notes. Drinkable, but even though I'm sure this is how it's supposed to taste, it seems off.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy amber with a medium, foamy beige head. Smoky and sweet malts burst out of the aroma, with the smoky, peat malt on top, making it obvious that this a scotch ale at its base. Seems much more of a scotch ale on the tongue, with sweet caramel malts providing the core flavours, with a touch of smoky / peaty quality. Finishes with medium sweetness and a very subtle amount of the smoke. Pleasantly surprised with this brew. Quite enjoyable.

backbone is smoke not overdone. Malt controls but there are fringes of bitterness to be felt. A bit of meat and BBQ around there.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear copper. Aroma of bready malts and toasted nuts. Flavour has a convoluted mix of spices including nutmeg, bready malts, nuts, and burnt wood. Not a fan of the spices in here - decent though.

A dark reddish brown ale with a thin big bubbled light mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with dark fruits, light sulfur, a tad unpleasant. In mouth, sweet aqueous caramel malt with light mineral notes.
