May 1, 2008 Bottle
Colour is black with a sinking head. Aroma is tar, iodine, smoke and ash; smells a lot like a good islay whisky. Flavour is more tar, firewood, coal and maybe some notes of coffee. Yet it’s quite smooth and quaffable. Long after taste. The guys at Innis & Gunn could learn a thing or two from the BrewDog guys I think.

Jul 22, 2008 Pouirs burnt sienna with 2-finger dark brown head. Nose is complex; a mix of charred molasses, figs, peaty earthy malt, brown sugar, hops, and oats. Tastes roasty dark malty, with notes of chocolate, fig, prune, peaty earthy scotch, hops, and blackstrap molasses. Very rich palate with a nice creaminess and a mix of velvety chocolate and rauchy malts. One of the more unique and enjoyable beers I’ve had all year.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle. Pitch black colored. Peaty, malty aroma. malty sweet flavor with dark chocolate and peat. Almost salty, like a fresh sea breeze. Hint of licorice. Iodine in aroma and flavor. I just love Islay malt and combined with this Imperial Stout, that makes it a happy marriage.
