Ølfabrikken Islay Cask Stout

Formerly brewed at Bryggeriet Ølfabrikken (Gourmetbryggeriet)
Style: Imperial Stout
Roskilde, Denmark

Bottle. Vintage 2005. Maybe the best whiskey stout I´ve ever tasted. Sweet chocolte and smoke from the cask makes the taste both sweet and complex.

Bottle at home. Black with a brown head. Aroma moderate malty (burned malt, licorice, tar, oak, heavy smoky). Flavor moderate to heavy sweet, the smoke is discrete. Full body, soft carbonated. Vintage 2005.

375 ml bottle. Totally black body with a small and disappearing brown head. A strong but nice aroma of strong roasted malt, peat and tar. Flavor is heavy roasted/burnt malt with peat, tar and oak. Intense, raw aroma and flavor makes a pretty thin line between beer and Islay Whisky here. Enjoyed this a lot, but there’s a clear limit for how much of this raw flavor I’m able to consume. Even such a small bottle is fine for charring, still a damn good piece of work this.

500ml bottle.Bought at Bishops Arms Malmø.Black colour with no head.Mild aroma of wood,earth and some whisky,nice flavor of licorice and black berries and a oily finish,makes this beer wery tasty.

500 ml bottle - thanks to after4ever for sharing another euro impy; pours thin and brown with thin dark brown head; appearance the only underwhelming feature here; peaty and smokey aromas with tons of sweet whiskey; almost wine-like in texture and little to no carbonation; silky smooth, earthy, some seaweed, peaty and again lots of whiskey, but never overwhelming; pretty killer

Bottle@Home. Very peaty, iodine aroma. Opaque coloured, light brown head, oily, fair lace. Start is sweet, chocolate and vanilla. In the middle wood, strong chocolate. The finish is very peaty. Oily mouthfeel with a dusty finish. Strong flavours, very complex.

500, corked and baled. Thanks, Maria! Wow, this one snuck up on me. Had no idea what pleasures awaited, despite liking impies, Olfabrikken, and Islay single malts.
Pours jet black. Very thin tan head. Huge Islay nose--peat, soke, salt air, seaweed. Creamy edium body. Coffee mid-palate with peat, iodine, phenols, seaweed, and salt. Long salty finish.
This beer has been totally dominated--I mean thrashed around and left for dead--by its time in the Bowmore casks. Somehow, the overbearing whisky flavors and aromas IMPROVE the beer. One of the few, if only, examples I can think of where this has happened. Delightful.

Bottle (sample) at Bishops Arms, Järntorget, Porterfestivalen. Black color with a small brown head. Aroma and taste: Like a mix between Imperial Stout and a Islay Whisky. Notes of smoke, salt, roastiness, licorice, alcohol, coffee, sweetness and wood. Taste both like sweet and salty liqourice.
