Aug 29, 2008 Bottle, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing it. Pours a deep, dark brown with no real head. Huge aroma, of scotch, malt, and wood with a hint of sweetness, like molasses. Taste is rich, of malt, scotch, and wood, with meaty and earthy notes. Lingering rich scotch-malt flavors. Delicious.

Aug 26, 2008 Review bottle from brewery. The subtlest of the 2007 expressions in terms of whisky character. Very dark ruby-black, some fine fawn head, vine fruits and cake aroma at first with woody whisky and plummy malt developing and a hint of scented orange, full malty candied peel palate with a gently fizz, subtle whisky, chocolatey but not so much as the others. A woody dry fruity finish with smooth malt, late bitter green herbs and roast. Excllent.

Aug 24, 2008 Bottle number 07576. Pours a deep and dark brown body with a surprisingly sturdy tan head that has some legs. Delicate sheets of lace decorate the goblet. Aroma begins with chocolate, followed by vanilla and smoky old wood. Scotch whiskey is evident. Exquisitely soft and smooth on the palate. Body is medium full with a subdued carbonation. Taste is complex, as expected. Chocolate, Scotch whiskey, vanilla, walnut nuttiness, and some dark roasty malt bitterness. Faint hints of anise and raisins underneath. Really a treat!

Aug 24, 2008 Bottle. #23206 Sep ’07. Pours black with a small, quickly fleeting beige head. Aroma is complex. Full of Irish cream, sherry, whisky, tobacco, leather, and smoke. What a nice aroma! Flavor is roasty and smoky, even more so than I would have expected from the aroma, with no lack of sweet chocolate and vanilla notes and something similar to charcoal. Some cherry notes seem to come out as well. The mouthfeel is quite thick, and this beer finishes almost like a peaty scotch. I am completely impressed by this. I was initially hesitant about purchase due to the price tag, but now that I’ve had it I’d be more than happy to buy it again.

Aug 24, 2008 Updated: Apr 15, 2009This beer is thick. Pours pitch black and oily, smells like a leather couch in a 19th century smoking room (in a good way) nice subtle hints of scotch, malt, leather, a good cigar; there’ a lot going on here.
Flavor is more of the same. I wanted to hold it in my mouth for a long time to get all the subtle stuff going on. This was a really nice beer. I had the 16 year old variant and for as good as that was, this is much better.
