Commercial Description:
Dark Burgundy in color. Aged in a bourbon barrel for 6 months, this wonderfully large version of a Scotch ale would be understated as a 120 Shilling Ale.

2006. 12oz Bottle. Noses in some aged malt and light oxidation. Light caramel. Faint vinous. Mature. Pours this insidious total murky brown, oily with a fringe in orange. No rim. Flavor is intense. Soy, raisins, cream and dark malt. Tangy from old malt (malt vinegar). Sugar bomb. Oxidized. Tart for no reason at all. Reminds me of this years barleywine. Not drinkable. Dust, old and undrinkable molasses. Ugly. This just isn’t drinkable. And I have a hard time believing it ever was. Thanks Sean!

(December 2006 bottle) A sweet Scotch and oak aroma starts this beer off. It pours a thick muddy brown, with visible sediment and no head at all. Overwhelming sweetness starts this beer out, with a touch of Scotch in the finish, and a bit of alcohol burn. There is a bit of tartness present, but the sweetness takes front stage. Far too sweet for my tastes.

bottle......my first kuhnhenn rating and won’t be my last!......aroma: light on the malt interspersed with a modicum of bourbon flavor. sour notes addes as well.....appearance: just as the commercial discription indicates. barely any head at all.....taste: reminds me more of a flemish sour with tart apple and grape notes accompanied by the light hints of bourbon and caramel malt. medium body with a boozy/warming finish. malts come throuth a bit more as the beer works its way to room temperature.

Poured a deep golden brown with a very thin head. the aroma was sweet malty and peaty. It has that grapey aroma I get from peaty beers. Some alcohol fumes. The flavor was short but sweet at the start with a tart middle and finish. Earthy, peaty and smokey on the finish. Very warming but not much alcohol on the taste. Medium to full bodied.
