3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
pours jet black, minimal creamy head, ringed retention, micro CO2. Heavy thick malts on the nose. Drinks with minimal carbonation, slightly syrupy viscosity, starts off extremely bright fruity of bitter chocolate & orange peel, roasted coffee, toasted oak, figs & dates, vanilla, and lots of malt on the exhale. Drinks with 8/10-level slightly heavy sweetness. Medium-high complexity, high depth, great transitions, great carry, great drinkability. Its profile is similar to Ola Dubh scotch-barrel aged beer, however this is more fruity and more aggressive with the sweetness.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle, shared with Parksy and Gripp. Viscous dark brown pour with a very lazy, slow brown head that fades rather quickly, lending the appearance of stillness to this brew. Aroma is beautiful, tons of figs, light tobacco, vanilla, spices. I could inhale this all day! Flavour is equally full of dark figgy fruit, vanilla, tobacco, lightly peaty smoke, light whiskey-kissed wood. Full bodied, soft and rich, dry slightly tannic finish. Wonderful.
