4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20This was a special gift of an Irish buddy returning from a visit with his friend who is a brewer in Scotland. This was shared at a drunken adult prom party. Absolutely beautiful. Black pour with no highlights. Nose is remarkably complex with deep roast malt, brown sugar alcohol, roses and oak. Stunning nose. Taste is exactly the same with sweet oaky booze. Vanilla and cherries and oak. Absolutely lovely.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle ? from BrewDog - over a year old [030513]
Black, big dark tan head that dissipates away, some lacing
Aroma of heavy dark rich malts, woody, dark chocolate, dark toffee, slight touch of whisky
Taste of rich dark deep malts, alcohol is a bit noticeable, dark bit fruity chocolate, roasted malts, dark wood, nice soft whisky note, dark molasses, rich dark caramel, dark fruits, complex, probably the whisky has mellowed over time
Palate - Medium carb, full body, rather sweet quite boozy palate. Finish as main flavour with some roasted wood and warming alcohol
Overall - Very good imperial stout, certainly benefitted from aging as the whisky is soft and mellow, good drinkability for the high abv, but I felt it was a bit too boozy still...would have preferred it if it was around 10-12% abv.
