| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 6, 2009 On cask at Churchkey in Washington DC. Pours a slightly oily, opaque black with a thin, spitty, off white head. Aroma is nice, boozy, grainy, toast, caramel. Flavor is better, both the whiskey and the beer come through: wood, booze, whole grains, pumpernickel, whiskey, sour mash, slight smoke, coffee, brown sugar, molasses. Finish is a little oily but otherwise smooth. Easier to drink than the 40 year. A nice compliment between beer and booze.

Mild roasted aroma with some dark chocolate and salmiak, and notes of whiskey and wood. Medium bodied, low carbonation. Well balanced with a dry and salty finish.
