4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20 TrefwoordPunk (711) - Leiden, - DEC 18, 2012Bottle 33 cl. Pours pitch black with a small beige head and an aroma of mainly whiskey, with notes of peat, wet wood, syrup, heavy malts and thin cigar smoke. The taste is not too sweet nor too alcoholic, just a nice blend for a beer this strong. There’s heavu roasted malts, smoke, some whiskey and a nice medium-long bitter finish. I really like this.

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 Shaney (1804) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - APR 27, 2013
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 sebletitje (5536) - Enghien, BELGIUM - APR 14, 2013
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 BoringBard (118) - NORWAY - APR 11, 2013
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.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 Uhlen (186) - Trondheim, NORWAY - APR 11, 2013
Pours a dark brown/black liquid with almost no head. Pretty anonymous aroma, for a BA stout. Some toffee and smoke. Taste is also pretty toned down from what I was expecting. You can def taste the BA though, as the peated malts seems very appearent.
