Jan 6, 2009 Pours a deep reddish mocha color, with a thin tan head. Aroma of sweet chocolate malt, with some buttery warmth...alcohol isn’t even trying to hide. Taste of overripe redfruit dipped in semi-sweet chocolate, burnt chocolate on the aftertaste, boozy warmth all around. Nice scotch ale, has some oomph to it.

Dec 21, 2008 Bottle courtesy of myself. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a small off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, earthy hops, and a touch of toasted malt. Taste is the same as aroma with an emphasis on toasted malt. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and very well hidden alcohol. Very good.
