Aug 31, 2007 Bottle, at RBESG 2007 in Glasgow, Grand Tasting. ABV was 10%. Pitch black colour, brown head. Lovely vinous, oaky and roasty aroma, some sandalwood too. Perfect! Vinous, roasty and oaky flavour - a wonderful beer!

Apr 18, 2008 Bottled November 10, 2007. Black color with a thin head. Big peaty aroma. Lots of whisky and sherry. Chocolate. The taste is somehow not dominated by peat, but it is screaming peat. Oak and vanilla, sweet malt and honey. Very little hop bitterness, but it is there. I don’t think this is really a barley wine, but it is delicious.

Apr 11, 2008 Updated: Apr 26, 2008Big thanks to Badgerben for sharing this rare and expensive beer. The aroma is nice, peat, smoke, and malt with very light spice. A black beer and no carbonation. Exceptionally complex flavor. Peat, seasalt, smoke, malt, and oak that imparts a wood, and vanilla flavor. The high abv is well hidden and not noticeable in the aroma or flavor.

Mar 21, 2008 750, swingtop. Black. Thick (though shallow) creamy tan head. Huge coffee, roasty nose--along with port, and red wine grapes. Rich creamy, oily body. Tawny port, raisins, figs, bourbon, roast, and coffee on the mid-palate. Long cocoa finish. Indescribably delicious, much more than the sum of its flavor parts. So much happening with the brewing...there must be a dozen specialty malts in here.
