Mar 31, 2009 330 ml bottle. Deep brown color, thin filmy head. Strong aroma with coffee, wood, dust and smoke. Bitter flavor follows after the aroma and finishes up dry. Medium-full body, low carbonation. Reminiscent of Old Engine Oil. Pretty good right now, so it’ll be nice to see how it matures.

Mar 29, 2009 Slightly viscous pouring near-black brown, and a yellow-cream head living only for seconds. Faintly sweetish brandy (rather than whisky) nose; many roasted notes but all of them sweet. Liquorice warming up, as well as dark berries and strong sweet coffee. Sweetish, and dry-roasted notes, with faint/alcohol and fusels, black grains. Bit tarry, Lapsan Souchong concentrate. Every new sip short impression of fresh mint. Reasonably viscous, chewy, discreet but unavoidable alcoholwarming and pretty well-carbonated. Quite complex beer, but still not as much as comparable brews. I’m especially bemused by the high level of restsweetness. Many thanks to JezzaP!

Mar 23, 2009 Pour was total black, with an okay tan head. Aroma was of vanilla and some chocolate. Flavor was roated chocolate and vanilla, alcohol was a little to hot. Good beer, Alcohol should be little less.

Mar 21, 2009 (Bottle #05261, bottling date Nov 2008) Black. Small, fizzy and tan coloured head. Chocolate and whisky in quite burning aroma. Full bodied and bit oily palate with medium carbonation. Malts, whisky, roastedness, bit of chocolate, bitterness and burntness in taste. Whisky and roastedness in aftertaste. I was expecting this to be better. Probably would improve with aging.

Mar 15, 2009 Bottle. Very dark brown with a creamy beige head. The aroma is truly magnificent- the peaty Highland park shines through in all its glory. Peaty, malty flavours with subtle dark fruit and chocolate. sirupy and full-bodied, like an old engine oil. Scotland is making use of its great whisky heritage to produce some of the finest beers around. This is one of them.

Mar 15, 2009 330 ml bottle. Deep dark brown, with a thin light brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, dark fruits, whisky and chocolate. Tar-like roasted malts, coffee, dark fruits and notes of whisky in the flavour. Warm, a little smoky finish. Full to medium-bodied, smoothly carbonated. Very delicious.

Mar 15, 2009 2007 Bottle. Aroma has notes of bourbon, roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, and dark dried fruits. Very dark brown that sits black in the glass. Small tan head that mostly diminished and left little lace. Flavor is sweet with whiskey tones and a nice smooth finish. Palate is very smooth and medium full bodied with a flat mouth feel. Very good brew that blends very well with the Highland Park whiskey. Lovely.
