BrewDog Paradox Speyside (Batch 010)

Thanks to badgerben for sharing. Dark brown color with minimal head. Body was grainy and astringent flavor. Faint oak barrel character, but not much whiskey at all.

Bottle shared by someone at Spuyten... hell, it may have even been me. Big whiskey aroma, sweet and plummy, some salt. Sweet body, but a bit ashy from the barrel. Medium bodied and gentle, chalky with mild seaweed. Enjoyable and subtle but doesn’t have the complexity or delicacy of the best Paradox offerings.

Bottle shared by puzzl. Dark brown beer with a fairly deep rich aroma. Chewy and sweet with a light kiss of barrel character. Lightly oaky with a light caramel character. Fairly dry and oaky finish. Quite nice. Pretty tasty.

Bottle at Spuyten Duyvil: Pours deep brown with a wispy bubbly tan head. The aroma is earthy, raisiny, some cocoa, and light oak is there. Slick and light on the palate. Dry-ish flavor. Light raisin sweetness underneath a smoky/peat note and oak. Pretty good, just lacking some nuances that other Speyside batches have had.

Poured a very deep brown color. Aged fruit and roasted malt aroma. Roasted sweet fruity malt flavor. Light Whisky. Warming. Dry bitter finish. Medium bodied.

Batch 010, bb 12/12/09. Dark black with red hints at the edges and a thin quick light tan head. Roasty and thin whiskey smoke aroma. Taste is like a nice smooth whiskey with a slightly roasty bitter malt base. Same as the 005, except it comes out a bit thinner in the body.

Bottle at Spuyten Duyvil - thanks to puzzl for sharing - kind of light in color for an imperial, which I remember the base beer being - minimal head - lightly doughy and fruity aroma - not picking up much of the whiskey there - the flavor, however, is quite earthy and peaty - you can taste the roast and sweetness of the base beer, but the whiskey becomes more and more noticeable as the beer warms - it never becomes overpowering, though - just a nice soft peaty character - pretty tasty.

Bottle. Very still cola body. Nose-cigarette smoke, cola nut, light cherry. Taste-light smoke, slightly on the thin side, nasty aftertaste, perfumey, light smoke, alcohol on the back end. Nicely done.
