The 12 ounce bottle poured a clear, dark reddish brown beverage with a medium sized rocky off-white head that was mostly diminishing but left good lacing on the glass. The aroma was dominated by roasted malt with notes of toast and caramel. There was also a hint of floral hops. The body was medium with a nice soft carbonation and creamy texture. The flavor starts off lightly sweet with hints of molasses. The finish is fairly long and the sweetness fades and is replaced with a light bitterness and an alcohol warmth.

This seemed a bit watered down, it had a kinda good caramel taste, and overall it wasn’t bad, i just didn’t like the body.

Poors redish brown. Caramel malty aroma. slighty roasted flavors, lighty chocolate with a caramelized malt.

UPDATED: AUG 27, 2007 Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer poured a dark mahogany color with a large tan head. The aroma is sour dark malts with a hint of molasses. The flavor is sour dark malts with a lightly roasty element and an undertone of tangy molasses.

Bottle. Dark brown color with nice thick head. Lots of flavor. Finishes well. Would try it again.

On tap at MacGregors. Dark brown color with head from a tap. Peat aroma. Sweet. Flavor is mildly smoked. Light body. Very Drinkable.

Pours a darker brownish amber with a smaller off white head that left slight lacing. Aroma of malts, some caramel, maybe a slight hint of fruits but hard to pick out what. Flavor was also malty, maybe some cherry, some roast and even a slight bitterness. A bit thin and watery.

[Portland International Beer Festival – Tap] A dark brown brew with a minimal head. This had a strong flavor and a good malt balance. You can tell they took there time brewing this beer. The fruitiness was subtle yet noticeable. I liked this beer it was a good representative to the style.
