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.

Sep 27, 2008 Shared with Mike and maniac during Cluster Brew Part Deux. Black, slight head died hard. Aroma and the flavor were a match: coffee, chocolate, subtle cherry, booze, and a decided smoky note. Quite nice.

Sep 24, 2008 Updated: Oct 6, 2008No 26779, Sept 07: Brooding black hole with some dark brown edges, it pours thick with a small head that dissipates quickly leaving behind a heavy syrupy body with thick sugar like effers. The nose is strong roasted malts, smoke, scotch, ocean sea salt, earth, peaty moss and espresso... it is evident from afar. The kind of flavors that dominate are soy sauce like with salt, smoke, whiskey, peat and bitter coffee... alchohol is muted and integrated very well, but present and it is easy to drink despite its sinister look and packaging... palate is heavy, but not syrupy thick and the finish is bittersweet saltiness. Definately more integrated and mellow than the EO Reserve. My 100th rating, next up the 16yr, then the 30yr.

Red liquorice aroma loaded with marzipan. Opaque black with a nice tan ring. Delicous almond/marzipan flavour with some salty hops and an elevated sweetness that is well offset by hops bitterness. Smooth, low carbonation, warming, slight dark malt bitter finish.

Sep 20, 2008 Pours black (black) with no head. Nose is oak, molasses, whisky. Flavor of roasted malts, oak casks, caramel and motor oil, tobacco (fairly strong here). Almost like a beer made from whisky though that doesn’t makes sense. Very oily. Long lingering oily smoky fantastic finish. Om nom nom.
