Jul 30, 2008 Bought Eons ago it seems @ PP Bottle shop shared with dalekliz, bikesandbeer and my gf cyn. Pours black with a 1 finger tan head more like a ring. Nose is very fragrant with mostly an oily nose, note really a big scotch nose or maybe my nose is broken. Taste is sweet and rich and super malty. There is certainly some scotch in here and clearly some smoke.

Jul 28, 2008 Draught at Uber Tavern. Aroma is pretty strong with lots of whiskey, peat, some earth and some sweet dark malts. Pours a dark brown with a thin head. Dark malt sweetness is accompanied by a strong whiskey aspect that is strongly peaty, boozy, and oaky. The whiskey works well with the dark malt and creates and incredibly enjoyabe sipper. Very good.

Jul 28, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Dark brown with some lacy tan froth. Nose is mocha and whiskey, oak and dark roast. Medium light with a tingle; almost refreshing. Taste is chocolate caramel, smoke and plum with a dry, peaty, whiskey-barrel finish. A nice sweetness works well with the booze notes.

Jul 25, 2008 Draft at Uber. Black, light golden amber highlights. Thin gray rim. Nice dark tree fruit and smoke on the nose. Creamy, smooth, delectable...lots of flavor but very harmonious. Mild finish. Nice to be able to compare tap and package with such a relatively small release. Great stuff.

Jul 22, 2008 Updated: Aug 4, 2008Draft: I’ve gone like 2 1/2 years without really rating beers...I would rate a beer here and there, but I haven’t had much time to keep up with the craft brewing industry...and now that Im getting back to rating, I’m finding that there’s so many new beers out there to rate, that I’m having as much fun as i did when i first started rating beers...up to a few years ago, it was hard as hell for me to find a beer offered that I hadn’t already had...things have changed. How lovely. This beer here, this was fucking lovely. Lovely Lovely Lovely! at $18 a glass, it probably should be lovely...though I did get it for $14, but the blackboard said $18. It poured deliciously dark with a large fluffy brown head. The nose was a beatiful thick caramelly molassis with tons of matured malt notes and waves of antique must. Flavors were refined to say the least...think smokey peat with such a meaty and chewy mouthfeel. This is a beer you could easily sit and analyze for hours upon hours...waves of chocolate, figs, spice, peat, vanilla, alcohol, whiskey...and on and on and on and on and on.
