Nate (2466), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 15, 2007 On tap at the brewery. This is a cask conditioned scotch ale. Molasses sweet tang, malty with light fruity hops. Apple skins. Medium amber brown clear with foamy off-white lacing head. Medium-heavy body with medium carbonation. Starts sweet. Molasses sweet tang with fruity esters and light yeast. Red licorice and some soy/balsamic sweetness. Alcohol notes. Rich and heavy, a beer to be reckoned with.
yobdoog (1021), Woodridge NY, New York, USA Apr 10, 2009 Nice and smooth. Sweet and balanced. Some dark fruit and molasses. Very good. larryLSB (80), La Selva Beach, California, USA Mar 11, 2009 Poured from 750ml. Reddish brown in color with white lacy head. Butterscotch and oak flavors, very smooth, overall good. Rciesla (2800), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Mar 2, 2009 Bottle from BF. Pours a hazy brown body with a tan head. Oaky vinous scotch body unrefined cane sugar, with lots of dark fruit. Vinous with a balsamic notes and toasted malt. Cream soda, and apple brandy barrel. Weird and very enjoyable. Dickinsonbeer (3281), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Feb 9, 2009 Tap at bullfrog- Pours a deep sligh hazy brown with a thin head. Aroma is earthy leather, malt sweetness, caramel and some chocoalt enuttyness. Flavor is a doughy with lots more earht and leather and becomes a bit phenolic with a hint of mintiness and a moderate sweet caramel backbone. Somewhat smooth on the finsih but had an earthy almost smokey bite. fredandboboflo (1168), East Setauket, New York, USA Oct 31, 2008 Tap. Aroma of gritty, earthy malt, tart fruits (cherry, cassis, or black currant I guess in English), kinda funky with some strawberry yogurt. Flavor has that yogurt character with toffee-ish malt, nuts, lots of earth. Increasing cherry liqueur character combines with the yogurty presence to create an unpleasant taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste. More than anything else I’ve typed here, this last sentence really sums up the beer for me, as it was not a favorite. Miver (504), WillowStreet, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 30, 2008 12oz Draft at the brew pub. Poured bright amber in color with an medium off white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, and a bit nutty. Tastes was pretty sweet with toffee, caramel, nuts, and some lightly smoked malts. It was hard to drink this fast. LilBeerDoctor (1291), East Setauket, New York, USA Oct 27, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of sweet malt, sweat, light fruits, and yogurt. Flavor of more fruit (cherrya and raspberry) and sweat, kind of like juice. Smells like juice, tastes like disgusting juice. Hard to get through. MrBendo (1031), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Oct 26, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Hazy red color. Aroma was woody, caramel, smoky malts and possibly some peat. Incredibly dry.
