Jan 2, 2010 Whisky and Irish cream nose, medicinal. Cola colored, no head. Very strong flavor of creosote and hickory, boggy peat and smoke finish. Traces of blackberry. Thinnish mouthfeel for the style. Earthy and roasty like a schwarzbier and less like an imperial stout. Very distinctive and quite enjoyable.

Dec 31, 2009 Bottled. Thanks to gnoff.
Almost black, with airy beige head. Islay Whiskey smoke and burnt rubber nose. Pretty thin mouthfeel with dry profile. Islay whiskey overpowers everything. Two sips and then down the drain.

Dec 6, 2009 Near black, thin beige head, light lacing.
Aroma is very smoky, light alcohol, not a whole lot else.
Flavour is overpowered by the smoke, minerial, some alcohol, some bitterness.
Bitter, warm mouth, med/light body, mild carb.
Finishes thin, more smoke, lots of alcohol.
Even if was a smoked beer it wouldn’t be all that great. As an imperial stout it’s really thin and highly alcoholic. Not all that good.
330ml bottle obtained in a trade with TheCheeseMan, thanks Dan.
Opened on March 29, 2009.
Best before March 22, 2009.

Nov 16, 2009 0.33l - The rich, peat aroma fills the glass. That’s what I was hoping for as a big fan of Laphroiag. On the palate it’s peat and sensations of the ocean, capturing Islay in a glass.

Jul 8, 2009 Can you say peat? I have never smelled a beer quite like this one. Pours a dark black with traces of lingering head. I think aging this in the scotch barrells has given this beer a more medium bodied feel. On my palate I get scotch the peat flavor from the barrels, oak. Very nice and hides its alcohol very well.
