Opague, pitch black colour with an off-white head. Smells like peaty single malt whisky and wood. Tastes very peaty.. also whisky. Fizzy carbo, full body.

Draught @ Borefts 2011. Dark brown color with a massive, beige head. Coffee, dark chocolate, ash in the nose. Citrus, honey, and caramel in the aroma. Dark chocolate in the finish. Good one!

12oz pour is a lightly watery, otherwise opaque black with a lacing, off white head. Nose of pure scotch, rubbery, salty, peated malt, smokey. Flavor is very smokey, sweet, honey, wine, lots of wood, soapy, molasses, nail polish remover. Full bodied, soapy finish. The barrel is very heavy, but not bad.

drank at borefts.... aroma full of roasted stuff and some peat and smoke taste is bitter sweet and a bit sour in that order, long mildly bitter finish, smooth textures

Borefts 2011. Peated aroma. Black colour, seems cloudy. Small stable tan head. The flavour is peated, quite sweet. Good roasted finish. Some barley bitterness.

Draught @ Borefts Bier Festival 2011, Brouwerij de Molen, Bodegraven, Netherlands.

Clear dark black colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, light beige head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, overpowered by the peat - smoke and medicine. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration, for me not much else than peat and medicine ! Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110923]

Draught @ BBF’11: Medium off white creme to light brown head on top of a clear black beer. Smell manure, hops, citrus. Taste is really bitter with hops, citrus, roasted malts, spices, light coffee. Malty bitter hoppy aftertaste. Low carbo, soft creamy spicy mouthfeel, full body and a creamy texture.

Bottle @ BBF2011. Black pour, thick tan head. Aroma of iodine, roasted malts, peat and somewhat chemical. Flavor is bitter roasted, iodine, whiskey, peat and some faint hops.

Bottle @ BBF 2011. Deep dark brown color, opague. peaty aroma with grassy notes. Full bodied. Unique mix of dried fruit, roasty notes and oily hops, with clear peaty notes. Lacks balance, though.

Sampled at Borefts Beer Festival @ De Molen, Bodegraven. Pitch black, opaque color, off-white head. Smell alcohol, wood, whisky. Taste roastyness, wood, whisky; very nice. Good carbonation and a full body.
