Shared in the Aftermath of De Molen in our 30 Beer Breakfast bash ... This was one of the better paradoxes ... deep black ... soft roast malt nose ...rich chocolate fruityness ... deep roast ... little coffee.. riversideAK (2761), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 27, 2008 Pours almost black with some brown hues. The beer was headless after a vigorous pour. Nice aromas of some sweet roasted malts and a pleasant touch of whiskey and oak. Soft flavors of roasted malt, sweeter dark malts, oak and scotch whiskey. Soft carbonation, lighter bodied than I expected, smooth drinking and not as hot as I would have though from 10%. HOPSHUNTER (378), Tampa, Florida, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 10, 2008 Bottles from myself and growler. Pours chocolate brown with a nose of mild peat and smoke with a bit of scotch caramel and raisin. Taste is coffee beans with bitter chocolate and only a dash of scotch in the finish and a lingering vanilla note. Not as scotch heavy as I was hoping but this is a old barrel (1970) so it should be pretty mellow.
