Know what I like about this? Unlike a lot of barrell aged beers, this doesn’t scream whiskey (or whisky, as the case may be). The scotch flavors blend nicely with the beer, adding a depth of flavor and not overpowering the beer. Very smooth, with subtle fruity notes combining with the earthy, woodsy notesHint of peat and sea air, too. Very tasty. BB12/12/09,batch 003

Bottle. Pours a dark dark brown. Aroma of roasted malt and bourbon. Tastes of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla and bourbon. Nice!

From the bottle pours dark ebony with a smooth tan head. Earthy nose of oak and soft smoke. Not near the scotchiness of the Islay, but much subtler peat and smoke to compliment the chocolate, toffee, and oat notes. The difference between each of these beers has been great to try.

Black pour with no head. Sweet, chocolately aroma with hints of scotch and smoke. Flavor is of the same, with more scotch and smoke accents. Rather thin body, but still very good. Alcohol well hidden.

Bottle from Wine House - $12, eek. Nice scotchy flavors surrounded with the usual vanilla/wood/choco combo. Very nice, very tasty, could be a bit fuller...body comes off a bit thinner than I’d expect. Very nice but probably not worth the price tag.

Pours black with a ring of brown bubbles. Let it sit until it nears room temperature. I enjoyed the base, Riptide Stout, in the meantime. Aroma is heavy with Speyside malt, salt, peat, coffee, dark chocolate, wood, leather, and smoked malt. The taste is incredible. The bitter, roasty, smoky, coffee and chocolate flavors are all there, but now with the peat and alcohol from the scotch. It all swirls in your mouth. As it gets warmer, tobacco, oak, earthy oats, and vanilla pop up from time to time. Took a while to sip, but I liked it that way. Worth every penny.

11.2oz bottle. Pours black with virtually no head. Smells dark malty and complex woody, peaty, slightly sweet with some booze. Tastes sweet roasty and dark malty with some sweet wood and a bit of bitterness from the wood and alcohol. Nice sipper. Medium/full body with okay carbonation.
