Feb 7, 2010 Thanks Beth101 for the bottle. Wish you were here to share it with me. Nice fruity aroma, quite a rich fell to it. Slight roasted malt hints. great deep black apperance with an off white head. Nice smooth texture. Fruity, malt and liquorice flavours. Nice texture. Very easy to drink for its strength. As it warms, chocolate and coffee start to come through. Very nice tasty ale.

Pours a pitch black with a thin head. Aroma is sweet, with dark fruit, brown sugar, whiskey, and some wood notes. The flavor is stronger on the whiskey and wood, and weaker on the sweetness, with some hoppy bitterness still after 2+ years. The aroma and flavor together make for nice complexity when sipping. The mouthfeel is a little lighter than expected from the color and style, but not unpleasant. Overall, an impressive idea and a good beer.

Jan 30, 2010 Flaske: Mørkebrun næsten uigennemsigtig øl med et flot tæt lysebrunt skumhoved. Tovværk og en smule røg i duften sammen med en god gang chokolade. Smagen er igen utrolig velafbalanceret imellem en sød base af chokolade og en god del røg og tovværk. Superlækker øl, og en af de bedste whisky fadlagret øl jeg har smagt.

Jan 25, 2010 Bottle at home, 25th Jan 2010. Pours a velvety extremely dark brown with a small tan head. Releases a lovely woody, toffeeish whisky aroma when swirled. In the mouth you get dark chocolate, brown sugar, a hint of liquorice and just the right amount of whisky undertone. It’s very balanced and very drinkable for a 8% beer. Very moreish aftertaste, I found myself wishing it came in bigger bottles!

Jan 23, 2010 An excellent dark fruit and roast malt nose leads inexorably into an almost purely whisky flavour. It is thick and smooth but terribly dry. Almost too dry and almost too whisky-y. You know what I mean.

Black with a medium, creamy beige head.
Dark and roasted. Pretty sweet. Light oak-notes with a vinous touch.

Black color; big head. Mild cask and smoke aroma, caramel. Medium body strength, quite smooth mouthfeel, with a good combination of caramel, chocolate malt and light smoke, a touch of whisky. In the end there is some more chocolate malt. Balanced, but sometimes a bit empty, mainly the final (weak), without vibes.
