Jul 14, 2008 Bottle from Solan, thanks! Almost black and opague. oak and peat, but also cream and dark chocolate in the aroma. Malty sweet flavor with initial caramel and chocolate, overpowered by peat, oak, single malt whisky notes, cacao and grapes. A marvel of balance in aroma and flavor. Loved it, but this beer is just a bit too thin to be closer to perfection.

Jul 13, 2008 bottle. thanks to xnoxhatex! pours black with tan head. nose of scotch, baker’s chocolate. flavor is ashy, chocolate, very subtle scotch but the barrel really dries this out. reminds me of the brewdog beers.

Jul 13, 2008 Great smokey flavor mixed with scotch and a earthy tone! Pours black as it gets and a with a small head. $20 for a bottle of this and I would say it is worth another shot. A outstanding brew!

Jul 12, 2008 Snifter. Pours nearly black with one finger beige head. Aroma is of coffee, bitter chocolate, roasted malt, and whiskey. Flavor is incredibly well balanced, and powerful. Smokey peat, roasted malt, earth, and scotch are most compelling, with some subtle notes of maltyness. Simply incredible in its uniqueness. Palate is smokey with whiskey evident- otherwise smooth and drinkable- although whiskey flavors poke through, alcohol itself is largely unnoticable and quite well hidden. Simply amazing.

Jul 12, 2008 I had the pure delight of trying this on tap today at Brew’s Cafe in Granville. I feel lucky! Poured a dark brownish black with a delightfuly creamy tan head. The aroma was WONDERFUL. Smokey, peaty, and a light hint of whisky. The flavor was sweet and smooth. So very well blended. Hints of vanilla, a bit of coffee, but mostly smoke, peat, and a nice smooth whisky finish. I REALLY enjoyed this beer!

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle shared courtesy of KieferUGA. Poured a dark brown with reddish hints; nice color. Aroma was very complex, albeit not great. Meat, smoke, whisky and peat with some light chocolate residue. Carbonation was a bit too low for my liking. I normally don’t mind a soft palate, but this just didn’t work too well. Finish was very abrupt and flat. I think my dislike for the palate, tempered my liking of the flavor. Flavor was generally meaty, roasty, peat and whiskey. Surprisingly, I liked the 12 year old better, but definitely glad I had this.
