Aug 13, 2009 Almost black pour covered by a fine beige layer. Roasty, heady old ale approaching an imperial stout in terms of chocolate and dark malts stature, but fairly sweet and fruity (grapes, plum, fig and the likes). It grows a certain molasses stickiness on the palate which is otherwise silky and very round. The alcohol climbs on the palate swiftly and rapidly to the head afterwards. There is a lot of it for an 8% beer. Subtler smoke and wood character than the 12, but more roast and alcohol. I’m afraid I enjoyed the 12yr old more. That makes sense since the same goes for the Highland Park scotches.

Mar 21, 2008 Bottle... This beer rocks!... A hard pour reveals a pitch-black ale with a small, creamy, khaki head. Good retention. The aroma is a whirlpool of chocolate, leather, French oak, tobacco and subtle peat smoke. Full-bodied and silky with lively carbonation. Smoky, mocha flavor derived from charcoal and espresso malts. Gentle notes of Scotch whiskey and mild, earthy hops along with some alcohol bitterness. Booze is in the background and not the least bit overbearing. Smooth creamy finish leaves a nice, silky coating on the palate. World class stuff!

Mar 17, 2008 Pours an oily opaque with a thinly-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet dark caramel malt and some earthy smoky peat. Body starts with a mild sweetness and some light fruity esters with a decent balance of woody scotch before a drier, slightly oxidized and warming finish. Not quite as peaty as the 12 year old version, but still pretty good.
