Dec 20, 2009 (Bottle) Pours dark brown, black in the glass with a creamy brown head. The aroma is of round whisky, peat, wood, soft tannins, mild vanilla, light dirty oxidation, nuts, dark chocolate, salty soy, earth, wet tobacco, Madeira wine, liquorice, brown sugar and sweet dark fruits like figs, prunes and raisins. Clear notes of dry and dusty roast. The flavour is light to medium sweet, light bitter, light salty and tiny tart acidic. The nice round maltiness blends well with the whisky character. Notes of chocolate, brown sugar/caramel, dark fruits, oxidation, wood, mild smoke, liquorice, toffee, nuts, Madeira wine, roasted vegetables and broth. The mouthfeel is round with a nice umami-like touch. The carbonation is maybe a tad too lively. Lingering aftertaste of mild roast, Madeira wine and dried fruits. Medium (to medium full) bodied. This beer is more flavourful and interesting than super duper.

Dec 18, 2009 Black with some brown shining through, small head that leaves pretty nice lazing on the snifter. Aroma is rather heavy peaty whisky with notes of liqourice, smoke and tar. Flavour is intensely peated, salty and oaky with notes of vanilla, liqourice, ashtray and wet wood. Ends on a very peated salty note with alcohol warming the tummy. Mouthfeel is medium and very smooth. Nice heavy whisky character here.

Dec 15, 2009 0.33 l bottle from Alko. Sweetish, roasty, oaky and whiskeyish aroma with licorice and vanilla. Roasty and oaky flavor with coffee, licorice, vanilla and berries. More harmonous, smoother and less oaky that OD 12 and 16 but I still feel that whisky and oak is too much on the top.
