Purchased 1980 so about 35 years in HK and maybe another 12 years in Scotland. The hand made bell ceramic is too costly now. Attacking robust nose and smooth like melted sugar on your tongue. Slowly warms your throat — 9 years ago
Solid brew: red mid-weight just enough bite but some malty goodness as well, crisp & finishes very well — 9 years ago

Uranus detested his children. As soon as they were born, he forced them into Tartarus, a dark place deep beneath the surface of the earth. There, he brewed them into this beer!
It is pagan and arcane, with aromas of vanilla bean, malty forest moss, wet , cave stones. We are suspended for a moment before we drop in a starless night into a subterranean well filled with storm water. Then ginger and peppercorn lace the hops, curry spice and ash-laden black earth. Finally, magick runes on horse saddles. Do you hear the hoofbeats? Don't look behind you...it's Uranus!! — 9 years ago

This expedition stout is what you want to drink after a long and cold journey on a 5 day trip on the snowmobile or after 12 minutes in the frigid water in the ice hole. Aka perfect for a long weekend on the UP. Full on dark coffee sludge up front. Followed by tar and old motor oil. With a hint of sun drenched asphalt. Ending with a lightly burnt barely. Wow this stout takes you places. — 8 years ago
Chicory coffee darkness and rich leaf compost. No trace of the licorice in the particulates wafting. Frizzante licorice extract is quick to express, raking fine-grained across the entire tongue. Chicory coffee again, against a slate backdrop, ginger beer when it thins, but real, swelling kind of dark-oasted stout repercussions that focus and enrich this enjoyable effort. — 9 years ago
Good bourbon barrel flavor added to an excellent barley wine. — 9 years ago
