Apr 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours an almost black colour with a light beige head. Aroma is very smokey - like a mixture of pure smoke aroma, islay whisky, peat and smoked ham. Flavour is VERY smokey as well - again a mixture of pure smoke flavour, islay whisky, peat and smoked ham. Salty and quite bitter. This is some heavy stuff! To pricey.

Mar 28, 2008 Bottle (33 cl) from Systembolaget. Dark reddish brown, medium beige head. Looks more like a porter. Intense smoked aroma, it is difficult to discern any ather aromas, but there are some chocolate and dark fruits in there as well. Heavy body, silky smooth. Well balanced, heavy bitter finish. I’m a big fan of Ardbeg, but I would really have preffered to have this beer without the Ardbeg oak barrel aging.
