Bottle. Dark brown almost black colour with a medium beige head. I sense vanilla and oak besides from the expected roasted malt, chocolate and liqorice. Some port in nose as well. Flavour is dakr roasty malts and the sweetness from a whisky cask. Very long roasty finish of vanilla and oak. Very interesting brew.

(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.

A big thanks to Andrew for sending this beer a few months ago from Scotland. 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.
