Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Apr 16, 2005 Caramelly medium brown colour. Woody, leafy, chocolatey notes in the slightly toffeeish aroma. Slightly toffeeish flavour with a little hint of nuttiness and a respectable amount of chewy, earthy malt. Some dark fruits in the finish. Hooker (444), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Apr 10, 2005 Dark brown colour with tan head. Strong malt nose with alcohol undertones. Mild malt taste with alcohol finish. 5000 (2400), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA Feb 3, 2005 Bottle pours dark copper, hues of plum, medium foamy sandy colored head, spotty lacing, with very light carbonation. Malty nose, sweet, with a very soft biscuit and alcohol note. Peaty, hints of licorice, and light dark pitted fruit on the tongue. Medium to full bodied, with a fairly thick and somewhat viscous mouthfeel. Sweet malty finish, lingering spices. Slightly medicinal as well but its very subtle. Otherwise this was a fairly decent offering. I’d probably have it again.
BillKismet (1444), Seattle, Washington, USA Jun 16, 2003 Perfect scotch appearance, but with a head. Easy malt aroma, with a fair malt flavor. A dank, musky maltness detracts overall from the experience. Crit (2242), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Jun 16, 2003 Light brown, tan head.Antiseptic nose.Light malt flavor with mild alcohol heat. Not much here
