Jun 13, 2009 Bottle: Thanks to TampaBrew for this...pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Nose is massive with notes of toffee, cherries, pipe tobacco and brown sugar. The thing that really sets this apart is the fullness of the body...flavors are big on the toffee and caramel malts with some dark fruits complimenting the maltiness. Great brew!

Jun 12, 2009 Thanks Josh. Pours clear brown with just a touch of tan head. Both the nose and flavor seem to feature a dry malty toffee character with an underlying smokiness. There’s a nice dry toasted finish.

Jun 8, 2009 Thanks to TampaBrew for this beer.
Smooth and malty with a lot of subtle flavors, it’s best to let this one open up a bit before drinking it. Very nice brew.

Jun 7, 2009 750 ml bottle shared at PilsnerPeter’s Spring Gathering. Pours a very dark brown with a bubbly, luscious brown head. Very pleasant aroma of brown sugar, sweet malt, and peat. The flavor is malty with less brown sugar than the aroma along with a bit of peat. Fairly smooth on the palate.

Jun 6, 2009 Bottle at PilsnerPeter’s Spring Gathering. Poursa hazy brown with a thin beige head. Touch of alcohol, but not overly distracting. Nice roast malt notes, and caramel. Smooth and malty, and finishing with a light bitter. Very tasty.

Jun 6, 2009 750 ml. Reddish brown pour with a thick tan head. Big smoky malt, peaty and earthy aroma. Sweet malt, cherry, coffee and roasted grain taste. Very complex ale, but the flavors all blend and compliment nicely. Letting it warm up a touch really lets the flavors explode. Really good.

Jun 5, 2009 Bottle at PPRBSG09. Pours a murky brown. Aroma of diacetyl and sweet malt. Flavor of roasted malt and sweet caramel malt. Ok for a scotch ale (admittedly not my favorite style).
