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.

Pours mahogany into a snifter. Offwhite head quickly recedes to hug rim. Peat aromas. Whiskey from front to back with a slight coffee and oak tinge. Lasting scotch burn.

12 oz bottle purchased at Beverages for Less in Santee. Too much coffee flavor for me, and very little whiskey. Some oak and malts.

Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, and just a little touch of whiskey. This is actually very mild and smooth, I was expecting a lot more whiskey flavor and thought it might be a little more bold. Still good though.
