Aug 23, 2009 Cask at Mahars. Poured a very dark brown with a brown head. Aroma is very roasted and burnt. Flavor is great, sweet and tangy, roasted and hopped, really good cask beer.

Aug 11, 2009 A deep brown pour covered by a classy, dense beige head which settles and lasts. A malt focused aroma where gentle dark fruits float around forefront smokey hints reminiscent of peat and vanilla. The malts are rich and supple, venturing into considerable sweetness (caramel, molasses), but somehow balanced by a fair touch of roast. Full-bodied, slightly airy and just coating mouth presence is interesting. Remaining sweet and malty in the finish, though developing more than obvious alcohol flavours along the way. Focused and thick, digestive offering which easily meets expectations.

Jul 31, 2009 2007 Bottle thanks to Cletus. First, the presentation of the bottle is impressive without being pretentious, lots of nice info. Pours a jet black color with a medium bubbly brown head. The aroma is great; light whiskey, sweet notes of vanilla and wood. The flavor is full and somehow easygoing; lots of sweet whiskey, light caramel and wood, a smoky flavor throughout- not the harsh, but lovable smoke of a Rauchbier, but a earthy almost dusty peak smoke. I love this style so much, and this is a great example of a Old Ale. The palate is very lowly carbonated which fits perfectly.
