White ceramic bottle with flip top and dog tag ..... Dark amber/brown cloudy pour tan head ... aroma of sweet caramel malts, chocolate and dark fruits .... taste of caramel and earthy malts the hop presence is faint ... two years old so the flavors have balanced out has a dry bitter hop finish ... a strong ale that gives you some of the abv in the flavor but it doesn’t hurt it at all

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
2008 bottle. Pours a cloudy dark red color with a thin beige head. Pleasant aroma of hops, caramel and malt. Good flavor of hops, caramel and malt, there’s some dryness and bitterness in the end. I expected a wee bit more from this beer, but it still provided interesting moments.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
28th December 2008. A 2008 bottle. Cloudy chocolate brown beer with a good tan head. Immediate and bittering hops that dominate throughout to the dry finish. There is an attempt at balance with some smooth caramel malt but this is really second fiddle to the hops. Bitter but goes down okay.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
2008 bottle. Beautiful, bubbly lace on a bright orange-brown beer. Big aroma: menthol, plums, alcohol, caramel. Flavor of earthy, dirty, harsh-ass hops. But almost balanced by the malt. Not sweet, but fruity, with bitter chocolate and orange peel. Well done, though not really my thing.
