solid black pour. salty barrel note dominates with some cherry. taste is smoked meat then a nice burning & lingering scotch note on the back of my throat. cured meat flavors work surprisingly well . like a good smoked beer, this leaves me wanting more.
5 8 10 3 18 gunnfryd (3539), Kristiansand, Norway Dec 25, 2008 Bottle. Black colour with a tan head. Aroma is heather, smoked, coffee. Flavour is powerful, whiskey, coffee, hop, smoked. nice body. Wonderful beer. Boutip (2332), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Dec 23, 2008 Bottle: Poured a deep black color stout with a small bubbly head with limited retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is dominated by peat smoked malt which I did enjoyed. Taste is also dominated by loads of peat smoke malt which are very tasty. I never had an imperial stout with so much smoke notes before. Roasted malt and black chocolate do take a back seat in this one. Average body with low carbonation and no alcohol was apparent. Very well done and interesting take on the style.

Smoky peat aroma. Very. Medium plus body with mild carbonation. The flavor is smoke. Tar. Smoke. Creosote. Malt. Coffee. Strong s---. Finish is pretty much the same. Doubtless harsh to some. Rune (2744), Tromsø, Norway Dec 19, 2008 330ml bottle, bb. 01.06.2009, bought at a whisky store in Rose street, Edinburgh. Peaty stuff that has got a brown, ruby body under a beige head. Malty sweetness in aroma accentuated by a strong peaty touch. Roasted, rugged grain in the taste sustained by smoky malts, with an underlying notch of black coffee and spices. Enjoyable, but maybe too rough at times [15.11.2008]. GonZoBeeR (2155), ste-Eulalie, Quebec, Canada Dec 14, 2008 Aroma:strong smokey and strong rosted malt aroma....
