madquacker (706), Canberra ACT, Australia Nov 27, 2008 Nice head and orange colour. Tastes and looks like a stick dessert wine. Honey over a somewaht flat and cirusy beer. Alot honey and milk. Dark colour. Nice. malrubius (969), Valley Stream, New York, USA Nov 21, 2008 Bright copper with lasting ring. Toasty toffee woodsy whiskey coffee-cake aroma. Malty toasted toffee flavor with mild whiskey barrel and British hop. Medium body and carbo. Fairly complex and tasty. I like the whiskey barrel again of this. I could drink many of these. tarheels86 (703), Washington DC, USA Nov 1, 2008 Bottle from the Scottish Pub in downtown Savannah, GA. Pours a clear orange with low carbonation and a thin, white head. This is quite a change of pace. Nose is vanilla, cream soda, oak, honey. Taste is very creamy- pretty much really good cream soda albeit alcoholic. Aftertaste is a little sour. Very oily on the palate. Interesting and I would recommend it to others. auderale (572), Fairchild AFB, Washington, USA Oct 28, 2008 Bottle: Orangish colored pour with thin white head. Sweet, citrusy, vanilla aroma. Malty, woody, slight metallic finish. I liked this. terrybail (330), London, Ontario, Canada Oct 28, 2008 12oz bottle from the LCBO
A more detailed description will follow on a second tasting
I have misplaced my comments for this beer lowgun1212 (75), Montclair, New Jersey, USA Oct 23, 2008 Fabulous nose. smalls like cookies and oatmeal and brownies and heath bar and peach. Also a pretty beer. slightly red amber, Sweet and soft taste, a little penny taste in there takes away some. Mostly smooth on the palate but not gooey; a little seltzery. The oak definitely has its way with this beer and i really like it. especially the nose. Highly underrated in IMHO! EFC1878 (291), Manchester, Greater Manchester, England Oct 22, 2008 Bottle. Copper coloured with white head. Smoked wood and vanilla aroma. First flavour is quite sweet followed by a smoky bitterness that doesn’t quite balance that initial sweetness. Complex flavours of whisky, vanilla, wood, berries and honey. A good effort but its excessive sweetness lets it down. hobbersr (393), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Oct 16, 2008 Updated: Oct 17, 2008Pours out of the bottle yellow-ish brown with a small cloying head that almost looks sticky. Aroma is sweet, cinamon and honey. It smells like a cinnamon bun. The palate is super complex. Honey, oak, cinnamon, almost a scotch-esque favor in there as well, most definatly a fruitier highland scotch. There are also some soft fruit notes in there as well (possible pear) and a gentile hoppiness. Finnish lingers with an oaky bite. Good, good beer.
