Appearance: muddy dark brown, creamy beige head, lots of lace
Aroma: sweet chocolate aroma with vanilla sweetness and a hint of oak mixed with earthy and floral hops
Flavor: rich chocolate flavor, whisky sweetness strarts light and grows over time but always within balance of the chocolate, well balanced with a decent amount of hops that fall off as the whisky grows, oak blends in with the hop bitterness, lasting bitter finish
