Sep 8, 2009 Updated: Sep 11, 2009Bottle. Impressive dessert beer, you have to like it sweet for this one. The aroma has caramel, toffee, port, and some alcohol. Flavour is sweet, long lasting. Sticky in the palate, and full bodied. Dark brown in colour, with a lasting head of average size.

Sep 3, 2009 330ml bottle from Dan Murphy’s. A murky dark brown beer with a small beige head providing thin lacing. Intense aromas of creamy caramel and dark fruits (cherries, plums) with subdued cafe mocha and a vague hint of liquorice. Palate is sweet and malty with a thickish body and syrupy mouthfeel. The alcoholic presence is definitely there but rather subdued. It finishes with a slight burnt brown sugar taste. Like the label states, this is an after dinner ale to sip and savour, preferably on a winter’s night.

Aug 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice copper with an off-white, almost yellow, head. Aromas of malt, chocolate, caramel and a little lavender are all present. A touch dry on the palate but the flavour is quite appealing with hints of brown sugar, cola, caramel and raisins, but without too much sweetness. A very tasty beer, would be good to drink while watching snow fall outside your window.

Jul 25, 2009 330ml bottle. Dark brown in colour, like a glass of mudy water with no head at all, only a tiny thin rim of bubbles. Aroma of liquorice and spirits with a strong alcohol taste that blasts the mouth - tastes a bit like mouthwash.

Jun 28, 2009 2nd scotch ale, very different to mcChouffe; not half as peaty. Deep plum purple, small ring of offwhite head. Syrupy and sweet, fairly subtle, decent winter. I should be sitting by the fire somewhere and yes it did make my wee heavy.

Jun 6, 2009 Pours mahogany with a nice tan coloured head. Nose has multi-layered malt but mainly toffee. Palate is relatively full, carbonation is soft. Layers of malt: caramel, toffee, choc and coffee all interwoven nicely. Finishes with low hop presence and medium alcohol heat. Overall a good old-school scotch ale. Probably prefer this to the supershine.
