Nov 27, 2007 12oz. Bottle: Clear copper body w/ a minimal white head. Sweet malts & a light vanilla/strawberry-esque aroma. Roasted malt, slight caramel, smooth. A little bitter & a little something I can’t quite figure out...interesting.

Nov 27, 2007 Updated: Jan 24, 2008Quite an intriguing beer. Take a nice scotch, mix in the right amount of beery flavour, and add fizz. Oaky, carmel brown sugar, amber malts; sweet on the tongue but with a pleasantly sour aftertaste.
You’ve got to be in the mood, and drink it slowly.

Nov 24, 2007 Tasted at Internasjonalen 24. Nov -07. I could not detected any aroma other than the overwhelming caramel / butterscotch. Its quite possible that there some smell of wood there, but to much caramel to be sure. Had a much better flavor than I anticipated, with a great aftertaste. Sweet but with notes of wood.

Nov 21, 2007 Bottle (cell phone rating). Clear amber. Aroma is sweet and malty, with wood and caramel. Caramel, sweetness, a little wood and some brown sugar in flavour. Seems a little artificial.

Nov 16, 2007 Bottle. Pours a coppery golden color with a smallish white head. Aroma is on the sweet side, with some of the oak & whiskey. Flavor is also on the sweet side (honey?), again, with notes of the oak & whiskey, some maltiness, smoke, and maybe a little vanilla. nothing special, but not bad at all.

Nov 13, 2007 12 oz bottle-pours an off white head and copper color. Aroma is citrus-lime, which gives way to whisky, woody. Taste is whiskey/malt, woody, some vanilla. Smooth. Occasional. OK carbonation. Thanks jwc215 for sharing.

Nov 13, 2007 Flavours start light and fruity, finishing woody, malty with a hint of scotch. The smaller than average bottle size hints that this is an ale to sit down and take your time with. Interesting and unique.

Nov 6, 2007 Updated: Nov 7, 2007Brilliant reddish amber. Creamy white suds. In pre-ratebeer days I dismissed this as a cloyingly whiskeyish novelty, but now my palate has been broadened a bit I’m forced to admit....it’s still cloyingly whiskeyish. But I almost like it. Nose is whiskey-sodden oak as expected with vanilla, and some musty hops lurking in the background. Sweetly creamy vanilla-tinged malt and...yep, more whiskey and wood. Hardly a sniff of booze. One-dimensional and very sweet, but devilishly smooth. One is plenty, mind. Whiskey becoming more assertive as it warms. A scoop of vanilla ice cream. Not a bad beer, but a beer you’ve really got to be in the mood for.
