Mar 21, 2008 330. Thanks, HogFodder! Black. Dense, shallow, creamy tan head. Big fruity, slightly sour nose. Coffee, port, salty, too. Oily medium body. Coffee, raisins, wood on the mid-palate. Long woody finish.

Apr 8, 2008 My boyfriend gave me this beer, tee-hee. It appears to be named after our president Dubha. I’d re-elect it. Fuck U Osama.

Mar 21, 2008 330ml Bottle (#6517): aroma of dark malts, chocolate, coffee, licorice, peat, and smoke. Poured black in color with a small brown head that diminished slowly. Opaque. Taste is medium sweet. Tastes of smoke, wood, peat, and malts. Medium to full body. Oily texture. Soft carbonation. Smokey finish. Way too much smoke that I was not expecting. Ugh.

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.

Mar 24, 2008 11.2 oz bottle (07522/Sept07) from Country Club Liquors; $10.29 Nose of caramel, prunes, and none of the smoke I got in the 12, black, brown edges, with a medium cinnamon head that laced nicely; flavor more fruity than the 12 with some oak and hop bitterness. Alcohol and scotch flavors if they are there are completely hidden! Not as good as the 12 but only $.50US more!

Apr 16, 2008 The aroma is like the 12 but slightly sweeter and less smoky. The appearance is almost black with a thin bubble head. The flavor is like the 12 also with wood and a little sweet. The palate is more carbonated than the 12. overall it’s about the same.

Oct 1, 2009 (Bottle) Very dark colour, almost black, with ruby hints when seen through light. Creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, cocoa, dark fruit and woody, slightly smoky hints of whisky. Malty, roasted taste with creamy coffee, chocolate, dark fruit, raisins and oaky, smoky hints of whisky. Bittersweet finish with moderate bitterness and a warming puff of alcohol. More than medium body, smooth mouthfeel. Brilliant balance, the whisky character stays in the background but is always evident. Subtle but impressive wood ageing. Lovely beer!

Oct 24, 2008 Bottle: Pours dark with not light coming through, and a dense creamy tan head. Nice aroma with some rich cocoa, mild plummy notes, smooth and mild oak, roast and purple grape skin notes. Has a great silky feel in the palate. The fore flavor is fruity with purple grape, plummy notes, sweet-ish tobacco, cocoa roast, earthy peat, mild smokiness and toasted oak. Remains drinkable in it’s tasty richness. Well done and nicely integrated character.
