Sep 10, 2008 Bottle. Weak smoked aroma, hint of whisky. Almost black colour. Good whisky flavour, not alcoholic, but the flavour is like that. Roasted, liquorice flavour. A little salt and a good whisky aroma.

Sep 8, 2008 Bottle shared by tom at the carolina crew tasting. Thanks! Pours dark brown with a sudsy tan lace. Nose is noticeable scotch, brown sugar, roasted malts, pretty nice smelling actually. Flavor is a bit thinner than expected from the nose: oak, scotch, rich caramel malts.

Sep 6, 2008 Thanks to the ALE club for this one. Pour was deep deep brown with a slight head. Aroma was of sweet and delicious scotch, malt, oak, roast, and some vanilla. Very smooth on the palate. Some more roasted and oak characters came out after the sweet malt and scotch. Damn fine brew. Would love to try the 16 and 30.

Sep 6, 2008 quite nice with the dry wood finish and smokiness coming in late. dark, thick but not overly syrupy. decent fruitiness balancing the malt, which is pleasantly not over the top.

Sep 4, 2008 THOUGHTS: This was a little too smokey for my taste at first, but then things started to balance out. It went down easy. Can’t wait to try the other two varieties.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a dark brown that was black in the glass with slight red highlights and a small, sudsy, tan head that mostly diminished. The aroma was moderate to heavy roasted and strong coffee malt, lost of smoke, soy sauce, dark fruit and a little alcohol in the form of whiskey. The initial flavor was moderately sweet, and lightly acidic and bitter; while the finish was lightly sweet and acidic, light to moderately bitter and smokey with an average to long duration. There was caramel and roasted malt, dark fruit, a little coffee and smoke. The medium to full body was oily with soft carbonation and a smokey, moderate astringent and light to moderate alcoholic finish.

Aug 30, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours amber black with small tan head. The aroma is peat smoke, bitter chocolate, dark fruit, wood, ash. The flavor is sweetish at first, dominated by chocolate and whisky. It then dries out as some drier wood, ash, and smoke tones come to the fore. A fine blackberry fruitiness stays in the background for balance. The finish has a slight alcohol burn to it, as well as a deep ashiness, leaving an aftertaste much like having had a sip of whisky. This is some pretty good stuff.

Aug 29, 2008 Appearaance: on einch, frothy, light brown head. Black. Aroma: burnt, peat, charcoal, licorice, cola, and cask wood. Heavy bitter finish and very dry finish. Nothing like I’ve ever had before. Can really taste the charcoal from the cask. Couldn’t drink more than one of these. Would go great with a Maduro wrapped cigar.
