3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bouteille 33cl, bottled 07-09-2012 pleine à ras bord..
Brune foncée presque noire, col léger café au lait disparaissant vite et ne laissant aucunes bulles. Dommage car cela nuit au visuel de la bière.
Arôme tourbe, malté, chocolaté avec un alcool qui se fait tout de suite présent. Le chocolaté reste bien présent couplé à un tourbé certain sans pour cela dominer.
Palais reste aussi ici bien tourbé, épais et réchauffant avec un malté caramel, chocolaté sur une pointe de grillé.
Effervescence est moyenne voire faible. Profil est typique des single Islay. Palais garde une pointe de citronné se dégage toujours sur ce côté tourbe léger.
Au final la bière reste un peu monodimensionelle ce qui est dommage considérant la complexité du Bowmore. Les 15% jouent ici en défaveur de la bière avec une bouteille de 33cl qui est bcp trop pour ce type de volume.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle @ home. Pitch black pour, no head. Aroma of bourbon, ash, tobacco, wet cigar, molasses and burnt malts. Flavor is a bit alcoholic, roasted and bitter burnt malts. Thick body, no carbonation but a smooth texture. A bit rough and out of balance but intriguing.

2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Gitzwart van kleur en nul schuim. Aroma is zoetig met whiskey, caramel, vanille en tabak. Smaak van whiskey, vanille, rook/as en koffie. Voelt nogal dik aan, zonder koolzuur. Niet mijn ding. Voelt als moeilijk doen om het moeilijk doen.

Draft @ brewpub. Pours a pitch black beer with a small tanned head on top. Aroma has light whisky notes, with dark sugar and caramel combined. Some molasses too. Flavour is quite sweet and quite alcoholic. Get some residual sugar in the flavour as wel. Whisky could be more overpowering for me, but still this is a great beer!
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Dark brown head, shortlived over fully opaque black-brown beer. Phenolic/tarry nose, cookies with coffee, sweetish, Islay malt whisky. Very dry, chalky flavour, mixed with rather sweet chocolate. Flavour is remarkably more sweet (the alcohol...) than the initial, short bitterness. Finish is again more roasted/burnt, and phenolic, but not bitter. Rich warming, powerful flavour with velvety, viscous feel, if very dry throughout. Very good balance, rewarding and powerful beer, dry à souhait.

Draft. Pours a black color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty chocolate aroma with woody whisky hints. Roasted malty chocolate woody whisky flavor. Has a roasted malty chocolate woody whisky finish.
