Tasted blind along with three other Paradox Imperial Stouts on an Imp Stouty Tasting evening with Case, Traci and Loz 14-03-08, Poured very dark brown with just a small amount of beige bubbles. The aroma is stunning soft crushed tangerines that had been steeped in christmas spirits, quite wonderful. The taste is very silky smooth, oaky creamy vanilla starts to show first and the alcohol starts to show, it’s got a lazy quality about it which is great the whisky chracteristics have become so well intergrated into this beer it feels quite right. I like it but it still could have been better. big, big thanks to Craig, cgarvieuk for getting me these beers, cheers mate.

Smooth, deceievingly easy drinking. Some grainy alcohol. Not as interesting as the malt cask versions IMHO - but wee worth trying.

Near black colored with red hints. Little light brown head. Rich aroma with sweet dominating whiskey tone, some oak and roastiness also present, vanilla is very strong too. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is like aroma: vanilla and oaky whiskey dominating, somehow bland palate still. Aftertaste dries with still this whiskey here, mild alcohol also comes up. Not too much roastiness here, still excellent brew.
