Poured into a 16 oz Great Divide Snulip glass not sure when it was bottled and 8% ABV. Pours a dark brown with a 2 finger head that leaves plenty of webs of lace.

Smell is peat, brown sugar, caramel, vanilla, fig, and toffee.

Taste follows peat, brown sugar, caramel, toffee, oaked vanilla, and dark fruit.

Mouthfeel is about medium, moderate life, maybe a tad dry, and drinks easy enough at 8% ABV.

Overall this is not a great beer at all, kind of has a little sourness to it and a tad thin. I am always hoping for something great from this brewery and it hasn't happened.

Bottle from Berts
Hazy deep copper color bordering on brown with a decent sized off white head. Caramel dark fruits with a hint of smoke and a faint bit of spirits and wood tannin. Sweet with a hint of oxidation, decent little sipper.

From a 650 ml bottle released in July 2015. Sampled Aug 1, 2015.

Foggy unfiltered pour with a big lingering cream colored head.

Lovely roasted sweet malts on the nose along with brown sugar, molasses, and peat moss.

The body is medium and better.

Interestingly, while the taste begins with an expected Wee Heavy malt sweetness there is a definite earthy bitterness pulling up the rear and lingering at the end.
