Poured a clear deep brown color with a gold tint and legs. No real head to mention though. The aroma was malty and peaty with a hint of smoke, age and alcohol. Malty sweet flavor with some aged notes to it. Light peat with an earthy mildly bitter semi-dry finish. Nice warmth. Medium-full body.

Apr 4, 2008 Bottle shared by goldtwins. Pours a hazy dark brown with some reddish highlights when held against light. Thin light tan head that quickly fades to a ring. Pleasant aroma of caramel, dark fruit and alcohol. The flavor is sweet caramel, molasses, dark fruit and brandy. Some peat detected as well. Definite warming from the alcohol at the finish. Full bodied with an almost sticky mouthfeel. Thanks Larry!
