Bottle at Paul’s Hoboken Gathering: Copper with a thin head. The aroma is odd with some tobacco and old dust. Thin body with a graininess, some mild hay and brown sugar. Somewhat vacant and boring.

Feb 9, 2008 (Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 8 Feb 2008) Mahogany colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, grainy nose with notes of toffee, nuts and dark fruit. Malty, nutty taste with dark fruit, grain, caramel, chocolate and a short whiff of earthy bitterness in the finish. Malt dominates this tasty beer, but the finish is a bit short. Nice one.

Jan 7, 2008 (660ml bottle) Obtained in a trade with mgermani. Large frothy white head with a deep ruby red body. Nose is very enjoyably scotch and malty. Slightly husky and woody but mainly a smooth enjoyable finish. This from someone not terribly fussed on the style.
