My opinions of the Barley & Hops beers in general were less than expected, but this one stood out among our gang. It was their seasonal-beer as of April 2008.


A= really nice dark deep, not much head but impressive from first glance.

S= lots of nice burnt caramels, malt and hops with some burnt coffee or chocolate undertones.

T= very nice; not nearly the carbonation of a lot of US-imported Scotch Ales (ie McEwan etc) nor the tongue-boggling licorice/anise thickness.

M= nice, slightly chalky chocolate-coffee dryness, yet slight watery-aftertaste.

D= very drinkable to try and probably drinkable in-session although I don't know the ABV.
