Mar 27, 2007 Pretty interesting stuff. this beer had a nice amount of spice and hops in the palate. I would give this another try.

Mar 25, 2007 not fruity, not chocolatey at all: very smokey---I felt like I was misled. Very little head and little lace was also disappointing. The Scots can do so much better--and I love a good scots. But for a smokey beer it was palatable. And there was plenty in the bottle to share a the Mar 2007 cincy gathering.

Mar 22, 2007 Mild dark fruit aroma, some light chocolate, and arguably malt! Nearly opaque brown/black color, but halogen backlight shows ruby tones. Tan head that mostly went away, but what remained laced a bit. The dark fruit flavor is more cherry than plummy, the mouthfeel is full and a bit chewy. Arguably both roasted malt and coffee tagging along with the chocolate for the finish. The malt/hop finish is a bit more like a stout than anything else, except, wait, Old Peculier. But different in a good way.

Mar 17, 2007 Very dark in the glass with a lively head that contributes some lacing. Aromas are light raosted, caramel, soda, esters. Palate is pretty smooth and long with a weight slightly on the light side. Flavors are excellent: sour cherry, bread, chickory, earth and apricot. If only the tastes contribute to the nose, this would be a great brew. Love to try the cask version.

Feb 18, 2007 Bottle. Dark amber with a nice lasting white head. Sweet aroma with malt, caramel and some chocolate. Flavour is fruity and fresh with some chocolate and nuts, raisins and good maltiness. Toasty finish. Good brew indeed!

Jan 26, 2007 A creamy dark chocolate tale with a full palate. Apart from the mostly diminishing head this is a great drink.

Jan 7, 2007 Nice, rich, complex malt flavors. Some coffee, some chocolate. A solid example of an 80/-.

Jan 6, 2007 Bottled. Pours a clear dark amber with a lacy off-white head. The aroma is a sweet, malty blend of toffee and nuts. The body is light and watery, and the carbonation minimal. The taste has some maple and nutty notes, but they’re far from the chewy flavors that the nose implies. Dry finish.
