May 29, 2008 Pours opaque black with a lasting brown head. It clings well to the glass. Nice lace. The aroma seems pretty light. I do get some fudge, or maybe German chocolate cake. There’s some oak, and peat smoke. The flavor starts out relatively light, but explodes in you mouth after the swallow. Very long finish. Outstanding!! Medium body with enough carbonation to keep the beer from being still. The finish has some heat, but the way it expands is very nice. Overall this is a pretty damn good beer that we all should enjoy.

Mar 26, 2008 Pours dark brownish/black with a thin tan head. Smells like a imp. stout, notes of chocolate, licorice, wood, some smoked peat and leather too. Mmmm, sweet creamy whiskey, chocolate, vanilla, and very little smoke flavors. The sweet creamy chocolate is really exceptional at cool temperature, followed by smoke as it warms. Dry and very long finish, slightly bitter, woody. Extremely creamy body that is faintly carbonated. Very delectable. [Now I have to try the 12 and 30 just to see... and will most likely affect this rating]

Feb 27, 2008 Cute bottle, 11.2 oz. Pours dark brown color, nice head. Yes, this is worth the 10 for aroma, it has all the wonderful qualities of a good scotch without burning off your nosehairs when you smell it. Peaty, smoky... underneath some dark fruits (raisins, etc.) and milk chocolate. The scotch definitely comes through in the flavor too... salty, smoky almost a meaty character. Really good, complex, interesting. This is good, I can’t wait to try the others.

Jul 8, 2009 Excellent beer. Its a combination of two of my very best delights an excellent beer and an excellent whisky. Old engine oil and Highland park. Super rich in aroma and flavor. Strong, warming and full.

Sep 6, 2008 Room temp. bottle (#13441, 9/07 bottling)
pured into English pint. Pours oily black
with a deep tan 3-finger head. Aroma
of malt with a light smoky undertone.
Slightly oily palate. Malyy flavor with a
noticible smokiness and a not of chocolate. SLightly astringent on the tongue at first, but that goes away over
time. Excellent.
