May 31, 2009 Bottle # 14824, Sept 2007. Pitch black pour and a nice chocolate head. Aroma of whiskey (subtle - unlike others I have tried that end up overwhelming), smoke, dark fruit and chocolate. Serious taste on this one - again , like the 12 year, the whisky is very present but subtle at the same time.. perfect blend. Also behind the whiskey was the taste of a chocolate bar and some fruitiness. Like the 12 year, this is one thick beer. This one is also winner.

Mar 26, 2008 Bottle #6901 poured into a snifter. Completely black with no highlights. Head is about a finger high and leaves a maze of thin lacing.
Smoky and sweet aroma. Notes of peat and bourbon which weren’t present in the 12.
Flavor is quite smoky and peaty too. The bourbon is stronger here than in the 12 but it still doesn’t overpower anything. Nice oak influence complements the roastiness well.
Mouthfeel is on the thin side just like the 12. Carbonation is also a little higher. Finish isn’t very clean, as smoke and peat are more prominent than roasted grain.

Mar 28, 2008 Definite Scotch notes on the aroma. Pours black as your soul with almost no head. Lots of chocolate notes here but it is so chewy and complex. Really good beer with a lot going on in it. I want another one just to savor all the flavors going on.

Apr 2, 2009 Nice deep black color with small head. Nose is filled with roasted malts, smoke, and liquorice, as wel as more gentle nuances such as vanilla. Flavor is equally roasted, with hints of smoky whisky. A big and round mouthfeel makes the beer work on many levels. Very nice.
