Bottle shared by mmtmatrix. Poured brown color with a thin beige head that fades to a ring. Aroma of hickory, light whiskey, some smoke, some chocolate and roast. Flavor of light chocolate leads into a smoky, lightly fruity maltiness, that continues into a smoky, lightly bitter finish. Smooth on the palate, light bitterness. Nice beer, the others would be interesting to try.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle 33cl. Pitch black and with almost no head. Lots of roasted malt, tar and smoke in the nose. Supriseingly light body with lots of roasted malt, tar and smoke. Almost tastes like a whiskey. Aftertaste dominated by peat, smoke, tar and roasted malt. Strange beer.

Aug 31, 2008 Black body, light beige head; Not to big quite metallic malty nose; Warm full body with much the same character as finish, not as well fitting as some of the other barrels this one is a little to much whiskey mixed with beer.

Aug 27, 2008 12-oz. Thanks, Skoi! Black with bright amber highlights. Dense tan film atop, got some lace showing as well. Rich creamy body with lots of peat, caramel, and roast. Milder than the glen grant, though the flavor profile is from same general province. More harmonious than the GG as well. Long, hot, roasty finish.

Aug 17, 2008 12-oz. bottle purchased at Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Pours opaque with a small, rocky, light brown head, somewhat lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (molasses, coffee, burnt, chocolate), light hops (perfume), heavy yeast (horse blanket, leather, musty) with notes of light alcohol, prunes, dates, smoke, tar, charcoal, and licorice. Full bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Aug 14, 2008 Flaske. Fuldstændig flad øl. Lidt ligesom en cola der har stået uden prop i et døgns tid. Dette trækker meget ned både udseendemæssigt og mundfylde. Det er ellers en dejlig duft af brændthed med en tand whisky der slå en i møde. En anelse røg me det er kun som en eftertanke. Smagen er også yderst balanceret, så en verdensklasseøl hvis der havde været karbonering.
