[1] Review by Beav from Fort Collins, CO, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/4/2008 2:46:24 AM)
"11.2 oz bottle. Pours a light brown with red highlights. It has a fizzy off-white head that quickly diminishes.
The aroma is sweet caramel and buttery toffee malts, peat, cola and a little alcohol.
The flavor is sweet caramel and butterscotch malts, some dark fruits, a little smoke and a subdued bitter alcoholic finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full with low carbonation.
Overall, I wasn't too impressed with this one - it's very subdued. I'll take an Old Chub over this any day."

[3] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (9/7/2007 2:48:20 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a clear dark brown and burgundy color ale with a medium foamy head with some average retention and some light lacing. Aroma of subtle peat with some toffee malt is well balance. Taste is also a well balance mix between some toffee malt with some subtle notes of peat which is quite enjoyable. Body is quite full with a very nice creamy texture. Very well done and something I would love to have more often."

[4] Review by Rmussman from Northern, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/16/2007 1:41:51 AM)
"A nice ale. Aroma is sweet with mild hops. Appearance is nice and dark brown. Appears like guinness with a creamy bubbly look that disappaits. Flavor is rich with mild hops. A fair beer but very expensive."

[5] Review by RedHaze from Bellevue, NE, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/14/2007 1:49:33 PM)
"Poured a dark red/brown, with a thick two finger head that slowly faded to a nice cap. There was quite a bit of lacing.
Smell; tons of malt, caramel, some vanilla and a little bit of alcohol.
Taste; the malts are there in your face, it has a little smokiness to it, and the caramel and vanilla really come through in the finish. There's almost no hop bitterness. Mouthfeel was thick and velvety, really nice.
