A clear rich ruby amber with a decent frothy white to offwhite head. The nose is subtly sweet with some toast, light caramel malt, and something downright grapey? A little bit of fruit and I may even get a hint of wood and smoke. Rather creamy and smooth for a filtered and pasteurized bottle, but then again, it still feels slightly lifeless from the process. Sweet malt, more than I would’ve thought from the nose. Again, a bit grapey. Toast and caramel malt, some floral hops, some definitely woody smoke too. Creamy. A creamy finish to fruity to diacetyl. Toasty aftertaste going to slight floral hop bite, to smokey wood. Not a bad beer by any stretch, though the toast does bug me.

Not much aroma, a little oil, gum, caramel, and burnt wood. It’s a dark, dark amber ale with a small, very thick foam head. It tastes lke peat, hickory, and whisky and has a very thick consistency. Good lacing n the glass. A heavy full flavored beer, with lite alcohol content. Quit a feat.

Pours a nice dark tan color with an adequate head. The aroma is of freshly toasted bread and the typical smells of a heavily malted scottish ale. A bit similar to some of the brown ales of England but with a more appetizing maltiness. A very enjoyable session beer with a lot of flavor.

My friend ordered one these and I scoped it out. Interesting appearance...dark but a soft nitro almost bleached white head. On the first sip of this I thought it tasted exactly a cigar. Texture was great. extremely smooth as expected from a nitro beer.

Damn nice beer. Clear sweet honey-water aroma. Perfect body, sweet malt, clean finish. I want more of this.

Bottle. Pour was a dark amber color with an intense white to off-white head that hung around for quite a while. Decent lacing. The aroma was predictably malt-forward with some roasted nut to it. The flavor was malt, slight spice and nuts. Thin mouthfeel and a finished that lingered just a bit.
