Oct 12, 2008 Suttree’s 2008 Pre-Brewer’s Jam Tasting. Sample from a bottle thanks to Suttree. Thick pitch black pour with a thin tan head with nice lacing and ruby glints at the edges. Burning smoky scotch aromas still leave some dark pit fruit and chocolate aromas of the Old Engine Oil underneath. Flavor is more peaty earthy flavors until the finish where roasty bitter malts shine through.

Oct 12, 2008 Black, no head. Aroma is surprisingly fruity, mixed with Scotch notes. Flvor is also rather fruity, with hints of blackberry mixing nicely with peaty, esrthy notes.

Oct 11, 2008 Black with a small off-white head. Roasted malt aroma with licorice and a hint of peat smoke. Sweet with a very complex flavour of roasted malts and peat character. Most peaty of the Ola Dubh series.

Oct 6, 2008 12 oz bottle, pours black with a ruby tinge around the edges. Head is thin, frothy, and tan and dissipates fully, leaving no lacing. Wonderful aroma of smoke, wood, bitter chocolate, whiskey, and dark fruits. Aroma is better than taste, however. Taste of smokey wood, roasted malt, bitter dark chocolate. Thin and oily mouthfeel.

Oct 5, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a very dark brown/black color with a thin tan film for a head. The aroma has dark fruits, whisky, wood, roast, and moderate sweetness. The flavor has roasted malt, whisky, charred wood, a light hint of the dark fruits from the nose. I get a growing peatiness with each drink and I’m not sure that I like it. There is no carbonation to this at all. Medium to full bodied and a bit oily going down.

Oct 1, 2008 Taster from a bottle at EBF 08. Naked, black body with display of laceworks on the glass. Peaty aroma of vanilla oak and spices. Sharp, initial whisky-like taste followed by liquorice and smoked malts. The whisky touch was more noticeable in this one compared with the variants aged in 16 and 30 year old casks (12.09.2008).

Sep 28, 2008 Updated: Sep 29, 2008pours dark black with ruby tones at the edges. Very thin tan head.
Aroma is chocolate roast malt, some molasses, vanilla and dark cherry tones. a whiff of alc.
Flavour is lighter than I expected it to be.
Mouthfeel is a touch oily feeling.
Very smooth initially, tangy sweetness, some smokey peaty tones towards the finish. Woody hop. Definitely a Whiskey profile as it warms more and more.
