3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Color as black coffee. Smell wood and bread. Taste is surprisingly not as peaty as I expected. Bowmore and Caol Ila are real peaty whiskies but the taste is not dominated by there smokiness in this beer. Dark chocolate, coffee and notes of dark malt are also part of the taste pallet.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark brown with small light brown foam head. Aroma is definately dominated by whiskey. Taste is like cold Irish whiskey, bit more bitter. Aftertaste is not too intense, stragly. (Velp 201306)

Bottled shared w timfoolery. We were having a laugh about the extreme peaty flavor of this one. He was telling me the base beer was much better in the non-BA version. I’ll have to try that soon. If you like peat though, probably right up your ally.

Bottle from MrHangover. Aroma and flavor of the peatiest, peaty scotch I've ever had...called Sheep Dip. As Wes and I experienced: "it's like eating manure, in the best way possible...if that's possible." Analogous... "It tastes like the assholes of three billy goat's gruff...soaked in scotch." Like haggis? Enough said.

4.5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Schwarzes Stout mit wenig Crema. Ein Islay Aroma für Fans: Torf, Tabak, Leder, Schinken und Teer. Der röstmalzige Antrunk überdeckt zuerst die auch vorhandene malzige Süße mit etwas Kaffee. Der Abgang ist laaang, rauchig und vom Alkohol wärmend wie ein Kaminfeuer auf Islay während draußen die Elemente toben. Für Islay-Whisky-Fans eine unbedingte Pflichtübung!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
bouteille 33cl, bottled 28/08/2012.
Brune foncée, col moyen café au lait.
Arôme est ici tourbe dominant, malt en retrait caramel le tout restant monodimensionnelle avec ce bouquet de tourbe voire cendre qui tend à trop prendre le dessus.
Palais est ici assez effervescent,ce qui est bizarre pour une bière de tel volume. Note tourbe reste ici aussi très présente et pas vraiment à mon goût.
Malt reste aussi en retrait sur des notes caramel, chocolaté tirant sur un pâle avec une amertume arrivant juste en fin de bouche et contribuant à une fine amertume.
L’effervescence est aussi un poil trop haute avec ce tourbé qui devient bcp trop présent.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a dark brown liquid with a tiny offwhite head. Aroma of peated malt, whisky and toffee. Taste of whisky, peated malt but is also sour. Very light, thin and quite flat. This was definietly a disappointment.
