TheCheeseMan (515), Saint Cloud, Florida, USA Jul 20, 2008 Pours a mahogony brown. The aroma is truly odd. There is an iteresting herbal note, peppermint, anise and perhaps even a touch of root beer. Truly odd. The flavor is malty and herbal, with the root beer note coming on strong. wierd.

Evident caramel notes. Good scotch ale but very ordinairy. elihapa (464), Hawaii, USA Dec 6, 2008 Tastes of chocolate, sweet sweet raisins, plums, dates, caramel and roasts. Palate is low in carbonation, medium in thickness, and dry on the finish. The finish contains some interesting bright fruit and hops to go along with a dry chocolate, adding to the complexity of this brew. I wish the carbonation was stronger in order to liven up the body a bit.
