| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 18, 2006 Creeemy brown head, black body; A bit oxidization in the nose, deep, complex, super fruity, but the oxidization is overpowering everything; Huge carbonation in a balanced body that is s bit thin textured; It finishes of very long but equals out very fast (I think because of its dryness) and just becomes a quite simple mass of smell and feel that lasts forever. I had very high expectations to this beer and I dont really think it full fills. elektronikfagtekniker (892), kbh, Denmark

href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/sweden/s target=blank>Glenfiddich Warehouse No. 68 in Stockholm, Sweden. Deep black in colour, thin quickly dissipating beige head, no lacing. Very thick looking. The aroma is of coffee, espresso, light chocolate, molasses, brown sugar, gingerbread and licorice. The flavour is of roasted malts, cream, some butter, dark chocolate, molasses, burnt malts, oaky and is quite rich. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a medium sweetness, rich, lots of chocolate, medium length. Worth the wait (I missed a chance to try this at RBSG2005) and worth every penny spent on the bottle.
