Bottle bought in Glasgow. A fine whisky tone, but that’s about the only thing going for it. Yeasty, sweet and unbalanced. A fancy bottle with a seal and everything was a bit of a waste on this beer.

Cask at Jyske Øldage in Horsens, 2006. A hazy orange beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and spices. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of spices, reminding me of a Belgian beer.

Tasted at the 2007 Beer Festival in Edinburgh Scotland. Excellent. Unique. Not too sweet at its alcohol percentage.

STBF07. Aroma is nutty, appley sweetness, hints of sweet alcohol. Taste has no whiskey, sweet, nutty, dry, no finish here at all apart from a dry alcohol burn. RERATE: Cask in the crystal palace. I gave this a 0.5 however the previous score was 2 so balancing it out. Aroma is nutty, sour and ethanol. Taste is similar the sour malt and nuttysweetness are possibly the most off putting flavours iv ever had in beer. Whiskey in the finiosh just comepletly finishes you off, i nearly spat it out. Utterly disgusting stuff, this is thee worst beer iv ever tasted ever ever ever.

Bottle. Dark amber with a thin white head. Pours very bubbly. Aroma is malty, lots of whisky. Flavour is whisky at first, then develops into chocolate and then very nutty. Too nutty, rich caramel and strong for my liking. Strength isn’t really disguised, and leads to something one-dimensional, unfortunately.
