Lightly smokey dark caramel aroma. Flavor does have a solid dollop of hops, but the rich maltiness rules the show. Quite nice, but not totally outstanding.

Dec 23, 2009 The aroma is sweet and malty with toffee, dust, caramel, and a bit of hops. The appearance is brown with a decent head. The flavor is like the aroma with a bit of cardboard. The palate is smooth. Overall not bad but a bit disappointing.

Nov 29, 2009 Bomber pours deep amber with lasting thin tan head. The aroma is sweet with malts mixing with burnt malts, chocolate, caramel, earthiness and some heat. The taste is also sweet with malts, syrupy sweetness, a dash of caramel and chocolate. Into the finish the flavor picks up additional notes of coffee and burnt malts helping to dry out the palate some.

Nov 20, 2009 22 ounce bottle thanks to Brent. Pours a deep mahogany color with a medium beige head. The aroma is great; powerful fruity malts waft out, caramel and roasted malts. The flavor is also nice; a dominant fruity malt, rich and powerful, light dryer flavors, grains and light smoke or meatiness. A really nice example of the style. Highland gets no hype, but man I love their beer. This was a really nice one.

Nov 20, 2009 Bottle from Kingdom Liquors. Poured dark hazy brown color with an average frothy brown head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate to heavy earthy, alcohol and toasted malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy toasted complex sweet flavor with a medium to heavy sweet finish and small alcohol burn of moderate duration. Good complex brew.

Nov 10, 2009 bottle poured a cola color with a thin off white head. aroma has a nice smoked peat, malts, toffee, and bakers chocolate. nice texture to the mouth feel leads to flavors similar to the nose with some burnt caramel and hops coming through. a bit of a wild card beer but this one was enjoyed.
