| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Oct 3, 2006 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of finely sized light tan colored bubbles that was mostly diminishing and left behind a transparent typically carbonated brown colored body and a fair lacing. The mild aroma was brown malt. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start mediumly tingly at the finish. The thin flavor contained notes of malt and caramel. An OK brew just nothing special. ante (2928), Stockholm, Sweden

Aroma is leather, malts and a bit hops. Flavour is quite the same with also some nuts in it. A lot like Orkney’s Skull splitter in my opinion. rlgk (3377), Vårgårda, Sweden

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 29, 2006 [Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival] Clear dark amber. Fruits and peat hits my nose heavy at first contact. Fairly sweet with some green apples and near full body. Lots of malt in here, and the mouthfeel is gracefully soft, but green apples disturbs. nick76 (2656), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 25, 2006 The aroma is earthy with smoke (peat), toasted malt, caramel, and fruity. The appearance is orange/red/brown with a small but foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma with the peat making itself known along with a very sweet malt. The palate is somewhat smooth but a little thin. I like this one. Palidor19 (1772), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 25, 2006 Mighty Impressive, I do enjoy a Rich malty beer with a strong flavor and AC content. Malts is taste of caramel and syrup. Slight smoke taste fill after with a after taste of coffee. Quite smooth too NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA

Aroma is damn fruity with some mildly rancid/rotten notes melded with alcohol. Oddly it smells better than the words suggest. I’m assuming the aroma stems from peat and is intended to be smokey, but I’m getting rancid instead. Body is a ruddy amber with a pinky thin tan head. Fairly smokey in the fore followed by rich sweet caramel accented malt. Too smokey for my personal tastes, but i imagine those that like peat would appreciate this.
