May 18, 2009 Bottle 33 cl (bottle number 60383, Jan 2009) True to its name has an oily black colour with small tan head. Has some liquorice and hints of smoke in the aroma. The taste includes elements of roasted malts and wood, as well as whiskey. Alcohol is somewhat noticeable in the taste, but by no means disturbing.

May 15, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours an oily black color with a small light tan head that recedes to clear, teeny bubbles that eventually disappear. Nose is light roast malts, very dry, some very light hints of scotch and alcohol. Palate is smooth with a very dry finish and a filmy palate with a light alcohol note in the end. Flavors are light dark roast almost burnt malts with a hint of whiskey/scotch that doesnt over power. very well balanced. it is noticeable that the whiskey is there, but it does not take away any of the beer flavors nor does it over power with alcohol.

May 9, 2009 This is rich, enjoyable beer. The underlying beer is good enough, of course--rich, smooth, chocolate, fruity porter/stout, and then you get that strain of whisky and wood, reasonably well balanced. A little sweet, a little dry. The alcohol seems subdued. Excellent stuff.

May 4, 2009 Pours an easy to see through black with a small tan head. Aroma of wood, dark chocolate, honey, toffee, raspberry, light coffee, and just a bit of sweetish smoke. Tastes right on with dark chocolate, toffee, honey, wood, acidic coffee, vanilla, herb/spice or something; definitely a lot of whiskey notes, but no heat. Finishes with a gentle toast, coffee bean, earth, char-like smoke, and wood. Dry on the throat. Medium bodied, almost heavy, average carbonation, slick coating mouthfeel. This is great. Whiskey notes with NO heat, not too heavy, big flavors and subtle flavors together as one, there’s just nothing to dislike here. Awesome.

May 2, 2009 Bottle. My favorite of the 3 released. Pours a black body with a thin lacing. Coffee, hints of peat and whiskey notes. Subdued with a light chocolate and coffee accents, with a hint of fruit to finish. Good brew.
