This rocks!
I love Bowmore and other Islay whiskiues so this is really amazing.
It is astounding how smoke, peat and salt flavours can be comlimneted so well by the smooth chocolate, coffee and liqurorice ofn the stout.
Its one ofn those thingshtat should not work but completely does.
Kinda like Strawberries and balsamic vinegar.
This poineering little ale is excellant and contains as much flavour, complexity and imagination as you could ever wish for.

Jan 21, 2008 Bottle... This beer rocks!... Black ale with a thin, big bubbled, off-white head. The aroma is a complex, intoxicating swirl of peat smoke, pipe tobacco, Scotch whiskey and, almost as an afterthought, dark unsweetened chocolate. Oddly, but not in the least bit unpleasantly, several of these olfactory stimuli combine to create an essence of Dove® soap... seriously, check it out! Full-bodied and ultra-creamy with tingly carbonation. The flavor is every bit as complex as the nose with more Scotch whiskey, smoke, charred wood and chocolate. Moderate malt sweetness; medium hop and alcohol bitterness. Restrained heat... it’s definitely there, but under control. Woodsy, earthy finish. Thanks so much to Magic_dave6 for shipping this bottle of world class beer across the pond. It’s a must-try! BrewDog’s Scotch barrel aging is an incredible, chancy twist that’s paying off big time for imperial stout and single-malt fans like me!

Oct 16, 2007 Bottle, thanks to James the brewer.
Pitch dark, with some ruby glow trying to get through. Smells of tar and spices. A smooth and velvety stout, then the lovely single malt kicks in in the finish - there is more Bowmore than beer in the aftertaste.
Oak, vanilla and peaty smoke. It doesn’t get much better than this!
