Commercial Description:
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.

Bottle from WFM Raleigh. Pours reddish black with a malty, spicy, spoiled milk aroma. Smooth creamy oatmeal taste with a caramel sweetness lingering in the finish. Fine beer!

Clear, dark bronze with deep ruby highlights. Rocky beige head. Dark chocolate in the nose, with hints of charred earth and wood, faint spice of hops. A little bitey up front, then bitter bakers chocolate mixed with orange peels. Kinda harsh, but finishes thick with black malt.

Bottle from Suttree. Thanks, Phil!
Pours a beautiful onyx with a lingering head of creamed coffee. Aroma of chocolate and oats, with a touch of caramel. Flavor is a nice touch of chocolate, oat, and a slight finish of raisin. Leaves a coffee-like film on the tongue. Very enjoyable. I’d drink this again.

sweet malty oatmeal chocolate aromas which is well matched with the flavor. I would say that this one is just ok

Brown to black in color with a tan colored head. Oatmeal, malts, toasty, and caramel in the smell. Taste is somewhat the same as the smells. Lacking in my opinion.
