Feb 15, 2009 Pours medium-dark brown with a tall tan head that has good retention. Aroma is grainy malt, apple, caramel, straw, a little toffee, a hint of walnut, sweet earth, maybe some wood notes. Flavor is grainy malt, caramel, earth, wood, dried leaves, dates, dark fruit, sweet nuts and lots of herbal notes. Finish is herbal, woody, and slightly bitter with lots of wood notes. Body is thin with a creamy feel up front and a slick but dry finish. Really a nice beer with lots of quality but not enough body to really carry it.

Jan 30, 2009 Bottle. Big head. Nice garnet highlights. Has the slight fruity smell you would expect from an English Ale. The taste has complexity and the hints of caramel entice you.

Jan 26, 2009 Sweet caramelly malts on the nose with some vanilla and honey, light spicy hop aromas. Pours caramel amber with a dense off white head. Sweet caramelly malts dominate with traces of vanilla and oak. Some bready malt notes with spicy hops. Not bad.

Jan 13, 2009 16oz bottle. Thanks to Kevin for supplying this one. Pours a reddish brown with a small beige head. Nose is suprising. Complex and nutty with hints of hazelnut and fruit. Taste is similar to the Belhaven Wee Heavy but not as heavy. Cherry, tons and tons of caramel, some chocolate and a little tartness maybe from the cherries. This is really quite great.
