Sep 19, 2006 Bottle shared with GregClow, my bottle. Dark brown with lots of amber hues, big orange/brownish head - looks great. Nice malty aroma - hints of dark fruit and a little alcohol. Great taste - very rich sweet malt, lots of complimenting alcohol, touched off by a maple syrup sweetness. Warming. Doesn’t really have the earthiness and smoke aspects I look for in an incredible Scotch ale. Good beer.

Sep 13, 2006 Bottle shared tupalev - his bottle. Lovely deep brown with ruby flashes and a good sized off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, molasses, dry cocoa - nice! Flavour has lot of maple and brown sugar sweetness, along with notes of roast malt, bitter cocoa and a hint of coffee. Believe the hype, his is some damn good stuff!

Aug 13, 2006 This is an excellent scotch ale. It pours a dark walnut brown with a one finger creamy tan head. The flavor is sweet, yet smooth. Notes of molasses, brown sugar, and other goodies hit you. It’s very nice.

Aug 12, 2006 A damn fine scotch beer, a bit on sweet side which also makes it very quaffable. Barley, scoth and carmel taste. Some fruitiness. Better than a rusty nail. Must have again.

Aug 8, 2006 Last HWOH. Pours a medium maber with a nice light beige head. Aroma is sweet caramel malts, good fruity esters, some diacetyl, and a light prickly alcohol characteristic. Sweet full malty mouthfeel and flavor with some toffee, light roast, some chocolate, dried fruits, and some tobacco. Pretty smooth and easy to drink. Clean aftertaste.

Jul 30, 2006 Quick dissapearing head used to sit atop a cola brown body. Aroma has a bit of a root beer thing going on with a faint smokiness. Taste is alcohol right up front with some caramel and a spicy mintiness flavor. This should be aged for a while as the 8.7% abv. Thanks to the Canadian Crew for laying this on me at BCTC.
