2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On draft. Appearance is black with a thin tan head. Aroma is black licorice with a burnt coffee note. Taste follows suit. Thick and oil-like body. If it weren’t for the taste and aroma, Id probably have liked this beer.

Deutlicher Whiskeyeinschlag, trocken, intensiv. Im Mittelteil wird das Bier intensiver, vor allem das Malz legt zu. Etwas alkoholisch, was aber zumeist passt. Spitz, zum Ende hopfig. 11/12/11/12/12/12

4th March 2011
Bottle at ACBF. Opaque brown beer, no head. TCP and rubber nose! Taste is mercifully much better! Dark malt that is slightly sweet. Smoky whiskey. The chilli seems quite subtle when considering the regular Verdi. I think the smoky whiskey has eaten most of it! Okay!
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Sampled at ACBF 2011. TCP aroma. Rubberaroma too. Not my favourite flavours. Too much peat for me over a juicy impy stout. Chili on the finish lasted in mouth past two more beers.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
@ACBF 2011. Coffee and chocolate with ideas of a smoking grill. The smoke is mild and well balanced.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle 330ml. @ Th. 4th. Alvinne Craft Beer Festival (ACBF) 2011, De Kasteelhoeve, Doorniksesteenweg 314, Outrijve (Avelgem), Belgium.
Clear dark black brown color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, light beige head. Aroma is light heavy malty, burnt malt, chocolate, coffee, smoke - tar - peat. Flavor is heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration, smoke - peat. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110304]
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Roasty aroma with defined whiskey tones. Black in color with tan head. Charred-smokey like a BBQ, a bit unbalanced for me.
Notes: Bottle @ Alvinne CBF ’11
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle at ACBF 2011. Black pour, tan head. Aroma is peat, iodine, islay all over. Flavor is heavy whiskey, peat and quite bitter. Definitely islay. Nice.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
(bottle) pours a pitch black colour with a frothy brown head. aroma has heaps of char and peat smoke, toasted malts and espresso, with light notes of cherries and earth. flavour is overwhelmingly peaty and roasty, with light notes of dark chocolate and honey and a medium sweetness which balances out the roasted-bitter finish wonderfully. thick body with soft carbonation. the peat smoke is amazingly integrated here.
