Aroma and taste is of roasted malts - smoke, chocolate, coffee, wood, oak & ashtray. Medium bodied. Oily & creamy. Close to flat carbonation. Heavy whisky smokey notes.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 30, 2007 (Bottled) Very dark brown with a small head and some lace. Very malty, ashy and smoothly oaky, whiskey-like aroma with chlorine hints and some alcohol. Very tarry, roasty and ashy flavor with a long, dry-ashy-smoky finish. Quite full-bodied, dry-ashy palate with low carbonation. Interesting and intese, but not the most balanced. saxo (3604), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 4, 2009 <i>Scotland Rating #50.</i> Don’t usually celebrate a ’50’ marker, but I don’t think I’ll ever get to 100 for Scotland. Courtesy of BDR. Near black color with no head. Moderately peaty aroma. Definitely there, but not screaming like a Lagavulin. A little roasted malt. Peat smacks you up front, but again, not as harsh as the Islay south shore distilleries. Slightly salty. Chocolate and caramel malts. Sweet and slick. Yum! gunnfryd (3592), Kristiansand, Norway

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 2, 2008 Bottle (330ml) shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev & GregClow -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a very dark brown, almost black, with a spare diminishing off-white head. Very nice aroma, lots of smoke but also sweet along with chocolate, roasted caramel malt and dark fruit. Flavour: Now that’s different! Nice to have a barrel-aged beer that’s not all vanilla or bourbon. Lots and lots of smoke along with peat, roasted malt and alcohol. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied. Interesting and different -- I wouldn’t drink this regularly but I quite like it.
