Malty, caramelized aroma with some light smoke. Amber colored with a light khaki head. Taste is malty, caramelly, and lightly smoky with a touch of earthiness. Nice maltiness, but fairly simple.

This poured a light copper coloured body with a full tan head. Holds a pleasent and very noticable caramel aroma. Mouthfeel is creamy, sweet and enticing. Flavors of smoke, oak and toffee. very pleasent all around.

Amber-mahogany, film, ring for head. Aroma has some alcohol up front, smokiness in the background, malt is there but not as big as expected. Flavor has a decent balance of caramel, toffee, faint smoke, finishes with some alcohol warming. Decent overall.

Bottle. Pours a deep copper-red with an average size diminishing creamy off-white head. Nice aroma of peat smoke, caramel malt, fruit, brown sugar and hops. Flavour of toasted caramel malt, smoke and fruit along with notes of brown sugar and nuts. Quite decent smoky bitter finish. Medium bodied. I really enjoyed this, a little underrated methinks.

Opaque orange with thin off-white head. Aroma of smoke, caramel, sweet malts. Taste of caramel, sweet malts and smoke with a semi-bitter peppery finish. So-so.

Nose is caramel, malt, trace of brown sugar, clear ruby, small toffee head. Tastes of roasted, almost burnt almonds, also reminds me of the taste of roasted peanut skins, smoky, caramel, sponge toffee comes to mind. Medium bodied, very well balanced, extremely bitter. Quite distinctive!
