Co-worker got a case for his birthday and I was able to wrestle a bottle away from him. Scottish brewers add dimension to their portfolio with whiskey-oaked English Strong Ale. Woody, vanilla, whiskey sweetened ale that I found unique and enjoyable.

Sour oak aroma. Clear orange color with a small white head. Moderate oak flavor to start off. Finishes with a creamy vanilla taste.

Bouteille transparente de 330 ml. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur dorée-cuivrée avec une mousse blanche modeste. Notre nez respire des arômes de whiskie, de purée de banane, de vanille et de caramel avec des effluves d’alcool. En bouche notre langue supporte un corps moyen avec une effervescence moyenne. Nos papilles gustatives quand à elles font connaissance avec des saveurs de vanille, de banane, de whiskie avec des notes caramélisées, boisées et alcoolisées. Excellent. Merci Thierry

Had this in a gold rimmed Innis & Gunn glass on 1/1/07 at an All-Bar-One in London. Pours a coppery color with a smaller 1/4 finger off white head. Earth tones, scotch, oak, and hops on the aroma. First taste is Vanilla, oak, malt, chocolate, caramel and grapes. Finishes with some light bitters, oak, chocolate, earth, and a big dry malt taste. Palate is smooth and creamy. An excellent beer for sure. I wonder what everyone else was drinking! Aftertaste is a little malt heavy.

Yeah, this is the one that I tried. Oak aged beer indeed. Well they can age it as much as they want in their special way, but this is one of the few beers I could only have half a bottle of, only 330ml and all thats how disgusting this tasted!
