From a bottle poured a dark amber color with a small amount of head. Strong smokey malty flavor with a quick finish.

Nice amber colour. Pleasant malty toasty caramel sweet smokish. Good mouthfeel. Sweet malty caramel smokey like flavour, dark fruits. Sweet finish.

Murky muddy brown looking body with lasting head. Several layers in the aroma, peat, wood, smoke, sugar, caramel and dark fruit. Taste was a little overpowering at first, wood and peat, then the other flavours show up, good beer big beer but wouldn’t be everyone’s favourite.

330ml bottle shared by garthicus with me and blankboy. Hazy deep ruby with a smallish frothy beige head. Love that aroma - Islay for sure, candi, alcohol ... herbal .... mmmmmm! Taste - incredibly earthy, iodine, the sweetness from the aroma ran away - almost like a snuffed match - love it, and the alcohol is quite restrained .... the hoppiness is sneaky - any less Laphroig hessian/seaweed and this would seem VERY hoppy, but as it is ... backseat, bitch! A bit watery, very astringent, weakly carbonated, with a very long Islay dry finish. I love a good whisky, so I love this.

Bottle. Appearance: Thick red, small brown head. Aroma: whiskey, wood, lots of sweetness, raisins, candy, lots of malt, smells great. Flavour: Smoke! Malt! Like a bbq plank, lots of raisin and candy, quite sweet but with an overwhelming whiskey and wood flavour. Quite the surprise!

Nice red amber colour , kept a good head, smell of what i first thought was fishy and started to like it. First sip was fairly heavy taste of oak, but after a few sips got a nice fruity/oak taste which would be lovely with certain foods. Lovely full bodied beer and one that ill be going back to very soon.

Pours copper with a beige head. Aroma is caramel, peated smoke and earthy notes. Flavour is caramel, heavy peated smoke, alcohol and light fruity notes.

Bottle… Dark, clear, burnt-orange ale with a small, frothy, off-white head. Good retention. The bouquet offers and odd (but not entirely dysfunctional) marriage of peaty Scotch whiskey, Nelson hops, and caramel malts. Medium to full-bodied with an abrasive mouthfeel and laid-back carbonation. The cardboard-like flavor is boozy, minerally, oxidized and over-attenuated – neither feels nor tastes at all like a barleywine. Finishes alcoholic, bone-dry and far too bitter. There’s just no residual sugar at all here... and it’s a barleywine? A complete miss by two of my favorite avant-garde breweries. Bottle courtesy of darkguardian!

Medium beige head. Pretty deep red body. Deep smoky toffee aroma with wild berry, roasty malt, and whisky notes. Dry-sweet whiskyish chocolate and smoke taste with roasty malts and wild berry notes. Also swirling around in there somewhere are resiny citric hop notes. Fullish body. Sharpish, slightly hot mouthfeel. Dryish smoky resiny charcoal aftertaste with notes of wild berries, salt, cocoa, and burnt grain. Excellent! It’s a bit wild, and not as balanced as it could be. In a way it’s like a messier version of Ola Dubh. (0.33l bottle, wine monopoly Vika, Oslo.)

Bottle thanks to darkguardian. Clear amber pour with a foamy white head. Damp moss and bactine nose. Wow, the scotch is over powering with all kinds of pete and smoke flavors. Bitch please, I say no thank you.
