May 7, 2008 Poured a clear red-copper color with an a small off-white head. Very malty with sweet toffee. The malt seems to have an off aged character to it. Earthy notes follow the malt to the nose. The flavor is sweet and malty with a mild bitterness and semi-dry finish. Medium-full bodied.

Apr 20, 2008 Bottle, courtesy blankboy. Pours a dark amber red, with a watery ring of white head and very little lacing. Caramel up front in the nose, followed by some hops and molasses. First thing that hits the tongue is chalk, with caramel, and some sweet molasses. Tangy medicinal finish. Sharp flavors create stinging bitterness, and alcohol is hidden relatively well. Labeled as a scotch ale, feels more like an Arrogant Bastard homebrew clone.

Apr 13, 2008 Shared with Pyrozoid. Dark ruby red poor with a noce foamy light brown head. Aromas of hickory, bananas, woody, nutty and creamy caramel. Very creamy, alcohol induced, full bodied, extremely well rounded brew. Bitterness is extremely long lasting and its sweetness hits you right off the bat. Flavors are roaming around the alcohol... always very present.... but non-agressive... This beer is simply amazing... i’ve been waiting for it for a while... i love it!
