Sep 28, 2008 Updated: Sep 29, 2008Bottle (330ml). Courtesy of MES of MES_AND_SIM - thank you so much, P!. Clear, but so deep it’s nearly opaque dark ruby pour, smallish frothy tan head. Not too much whiskey character in the aroma, more like a very deep roast brown ale, with a bit more herbal bitterness than normal. But the taste, ah ... there’s the Speyside - initially only light iodine, oak and whiskey sweetness, but the roast caramel is soon rather dominated by subtle resiny Islay complexity - lovely, just gets better as it warms. Slick mouthfeel, decent carbonation, long herbal/oaky bitter finish - terrific brew - again, thanks, Mes!

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a mostly black body with a thin lacing. Molasses, caramel and chocolate malt. Woody whiskey notes and a light roast y malt body. Sweet with a slick warming and some light smoke notes. A bit cloying but that’s fine amidst the warming. Nice.

Mar 23, 2009 Black color with a thin head. Light oak and sherry aroma. Taste is a weak grain, some roasted malt and a bit of astringency. Only a very little bit of oak and really no whisky notes at all. I would never guess this to be a barrel aged beer in a blind taste test, let alone a Scotch barrel aged beer.

Oct 28, 2008 Bottle from a London Oddbin.
Tar-like darkenss, thin film of a head.
Whisky, tar and molasses in the aroma. Some beers could be rated just by looking and sniffing.
Strong whisky charater cutting through, playing with the velvety stout, ending up in a warming finish. Some oak and vanilla lingering. Close to perfect.
