4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
No head to speak of at first, gradually a small yellow rim building up, only to disappear again. Beer is black, but with ruby highlights. Strong phenolic Islay malt whisky nose, smoked and sweet ethanols and fusels. Chocolate, coffee, sweet ethanol and a palate of Islay whisky. Lot of phenols, roasted but surprising amount of sweetness, overall. Even red fruit (on alcohol) retronasal. Quite decent balance. Alcoholwarming, slick & rich body. Powerful beer. Despite the typical phenol-rich Bruichladdich, the necessary balance is there - strong achievement. However, Menno, PLEASE stop pouring that awful red muck over your crowncorks!
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very dark brown with some red to it, very small head. Extremely rich and sweet beer with the focus on the vanilla, wood and whiskey notes. Not as roasted as expected for a IS. The alcohol is very well hidden, but instead is overly sweet.
