A unique Highland creation, this robust beer is black in color, very malty with hints of chocolate-roasted flavor and a well balanced hop character.

An opaque brown beer with a huge tan head. The aroma is sweet roasted containing lots of chocolate. The flavor malty with strong notes of chocolate, but a sourness lingering in the back and the body is thin.

<i>Bottled, thanks SpringsLicker! </i> Transparently black, lasting head. Grapefruit aroma. Dry and very aromatic with soft mouthfeel. The finish is really salty with good bitterness.

Very dark burgundy; thin but creamy-looking head; fruity aroma &#40;cherry, raisin&#41; w/ touch of roast. The oatmeal is immediately evident in the creamy body, though a soft carbonation also contributes. Oaty, fruity &#40;cherry&#41;, lightly roasty flavour. Fairly sweet, a little bit fatty in the finish &#40;typical oatmeal characteristic&#41;. Very drinkable - a cross between an old-school porter and an oatmeal stout.

Black body with a medium tan head. Aroma is medium sweet, cherry, light roasty. Taste is pretty much the same with some coffee added. Finish is light coffee bitter. Creamy medium body. Very nice beer.
