Big bodied, sticky sweet with tons of malt; toffee on the finish. Alcohol is well hidden. Not very balanced, but who’s complaining? BlackForestCO (819), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Feb 24, 2009 Bottle thanks to dpjuart, thanks Dave. Poured a clear red-orange color with a thin beige head that faded to a layer. Sweet, light caramel malt aroma with some light peat, brown sugar, and a hint of fruit (apple). Smooth, sweet entry with some light caramel, a hint of brown sugar, and some light fruity undertones (apple). No peat or smoke present in the flavor. Moderate carbonation and decent mouthfeel. Average scotch, bringing nothing new to the table. Crosling (1854), Loveland, Colorado, USA Feb 19, 2009 Light reddish bronze colored beer. The head is of a very light tan.
