Jan 24, 2007 12 oz bottle. Coppery amber with a decent white head. Nutty malt - tastes a whole lot like their ESB, frankly, with just a touch of peat smoke. Eh. Not impressed.

Jan 20, 2007 Pours a brassy orange color with dense head and no lacing. Floral aroma with notes of lemongrass, smells tea-like. Creamy bready flavor, very smooth and clean. The only presense of bitterness comes in a short duration at first taste then the rest is sweet caramel malt.

Jan 13, 2007 Updated: Apr 10, 2007Off the pub can this beer is really amazing. Pours honey amber with a milky smooth white head with tons of lacing left behind after a beautiful cascading effect. Very smooth on the palate with a smoke character that defines this beer. The bottled version doesn’t show off the smoke as nicely. Light honey and toffee flavors mix with a peat flavor that melts the palate with the smoke into a sublime mixture that goes down so smooth. One of my favorite session brews, just really strikes the balance between drinkability and true character.

Jan 13, 2007 Clear brown bronze color, with a thin cap of whitish foam. Decent lacing. Pleasant peat in the aroma.
Peat malt up front with a hint of sweetness in the beginning, the the finish is somewhat dry and sharp. Not musty at all. A little bit of tartness in the aftertaste.
Medium body. intersting peat, but overall nothing to disappoint, and nothing to get excited about either.

Jan 7, 2007 From my tasting notes at an "earlier" date. 440mL can, no date @ Old Chicago. Pours a clear amber with a creamy very light beige small head. This is a nitro can, by the way. Aroma of caramel, toffee, nuts, light woody notes. Taste is the same with a peaty aftertaste and a little bit of leather, metal, and some tang somewhere in the middle. Thin body, low carbonation, which is annoyingly expected of a nitro. Stupid nitros.

Jan 6, 2007 Nitro can poured into a frosted mug at Avesta in Delaware, OH. Brown beer with a thick, foamy, eggshell head that was clearly artificially created. Aroma weak but slightly malty with dark sugars. Flavor has a certain flat, one-dimensional vibe; more malt with a slightly bitter finish; light butterscotch; hints at a Scotch ale but falls flat on its face. Silky nitro feel but somehow still thin. Drinkable, but I’ll never buy it again.
