Bottle: Poured a true amber with a thin head. Slightly burnt caramel aroma. The flavor is thickly sugared, molasses and cooked sugar ... you can taste the alcohol. Quite a hefty brew.

(Bottled) Clear amber color with small head. Aromatic-hopped, sweetish aroma with a hint of licorice. Sweet, caramel-malty flavor with some rye pudding. Smooth, quite full-bodied and malty, low-carbonated palate. A very enjoyable brew, must taste again!

Hazy amber. Alcohol scent with a citrus note. Malty & heavy, but cleansed by the hops mixing in and then balancing for the finish. Alcohol is present, but not offensive. I was pleasantly surprised with the character.

500 ml. Clear, almost darkish copper with a medium head that lasts with a nice tat of lace. Aroma is earthy boiled greens and fall woods, maybe some cedar, and some caramel underneath. The smells and taste are both a confusing mix of alot of stuff; reminds me a bit of some of the Hitachino Nests, which is not necessarily a bad thing. There seems to be mostly British character: fruit-and-nut, twangy sourish malt-forward and a slightly dry-tingly, woody and herby finish. As with the Hitachinos, once I get used to some of the unexpected smells and flavors it’s actually pretty tasty. Post Mortem: Once this reaches room temp, it pretty much smells and tastes like a good Scottish Ale. Once I think about it, a traditional ale was probably always drunk at ambient temp; I recommend that highly for this one.

Nice amber/light brown color,small off white head that faded slowly leaving a slight lace behind.The aroma was light malt some caramel and a slight hint of alcohol.The flavor was malty with a decent caramel taste some hints of hops and in the beginning theres a slight oily feel that smooths out in the middle .The alcohol is definatley noticable in the middle and fades in the end.I guess i’d have to say i like this brew,not saying it’s great or anything but it has a certain quality that kind of draws you in.
