| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 1, 2009 (Bottle) Pours dark brown to black with a light brown head. The aroma holds heavy vanilla, medium wooden and light whisky tones from the oak. Quite bourbon-ish. Nice liquorice and dark chocolate backbone. Mild undertones of dark fruits/raisins, sweaty brown sugar, roses, nuts, toffee, tar and salt. The flavour is near medium sweet and light bitter with notes vanilla, wood, asphalt, light molasses/brown sugar, liquorice, salt and light chocolate/coffee roast. Light numbing alcohol. The mouthfeel is round and light sticky with a light carbonation. Light tannins and peppery wood in the finish. Medium to full bodied. The wood and vanilla-driven Paradox beers are much better than the super smoky ones - it plays better with the malt profile. douglas88 (1605), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

Pours a clear black with a tiny head. The aroma is rich oak and whisky notes, some vanilla too. The taste is very smooth; very noticeable cask aging, a nice sweet whisky flavor, some vanilla and light coffee, a small peat aspect too. Very nice, understated and refined. jkwalking05 (1484), Arlington, Texas, USA
