500ml bottle. aroma is sweet malt, and caramel. Flavour is again, big on the malt, and caramel, with slight apple notes,and sweet figs. Finish is quite malty,with a good hop kick. Really nice beer.

Pour was a deep and dark orange with no head. Aroma was roasted malt with thick stickiness. Taste was a thick and dark mix of caramel and roasted malt with dark fruit in there and a syrupy molasses finish. Good but not great.

500 mL bottle. Clear copper red with creamy white head. Roasty caramel and malty aroma. Sweet malty caramel taste with some nutty notes.

Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of toasted malts from the start. Caramel and molasses flavors, very toasty. Flavors intensify substantially as the beer warms to room temperature. Good carbonation level and mouthfeel. Finish is slightly sweet, very toasty. Definitely serve this beer a little warmer than usual. Overall, it was a lovely way to end this weeks tasting.

Dark Brown Color with Red Hue and White Head. Dry Malty Aroma. Sweet Caramel, Toasted Notes...Creamy Mouthfeel. Dry Malted Afttertaste. Pretty Straightforward and Simple. Given the Ratings This Brew Has Gotten, I Hope I just Had a Bad Sampling of it...because As it Is, I Would Have to Say iit’s a Bit Overrated. Their Twisted Thistle is a much Better Offering From Belhaven.

malty, sweet aroma; caramel, licorice flavor; long sweet finish; very chewy ale; nearly a dessert ale; I’ll have this one again

Bottle. High creamy off-white and lasting head. Clear beautiful ruby body. Distinct and lovely barley malt aroma. Nothing else, simpel and good. Relatively sweet but not too sweet because of a nicely proportioned amount of carbonation. Long and good aftertaste. Nice surprise.
