Sep 21, 2009 11.2oz bottle 07693 September 2007. Pours clear but very dark slightly red dark brown with a small somewhat creamy tan fizzy froth. Aroma is fruity, roasty and woody, light chocolate, hint of acidity, the whiskey has subsided quite a bit since my latest sampling a year ago. Flavor is chocolatey whiskey, really balanced out now, balanced subdued sweetness and bitterness, lightly grassy, light yeast fruitiness, whisky and cream. Long charred wood and peated scotch aftertaste. Medium/full bodied, dry feeling and smooth creamy chalky, very soft fizzy carbonation. It’s more balanced now but I suppose I’m thinking I like it more whisky forward.

Sep 12, 2009 Bottled Sept. 2007. Deep dark brown, almost black, dark ruby at the edges, thick bubbly tan head that disappates a little. The whisky is obvious on the nose, as well as ripe sweet cherries, dark roast, chocolate. Surprisingly mellow flavor. Somewhat watery mouthfeel. Crisp at the beginning, damp malt, muted chocolate and mild roast. The alcohol is evident as it passes across the tongue, and the whiskey is noticeable in the warm finish. Oakey taste when you look for it. Disappointingly mellow and empty. Peaty bitterness is left on the tongue for a while. Maybe it needed to age more...or less.

Sep 7, 2009 I really dig Highland Park whisky and I always have a bottle of Highland Park 12yr in my cupboard, So I am very excited about this brew! Pours a deep rich murky black body and a wispy tan head. The aroma notes of roasted malts, coffee, coco and largely suggests the peat smoke and whisky barrel. I enjoy the way that the Whisky barrel interacts with the characters of the old ale in the flavor. Seems like less oxidation on the beer, but I’m sure it’s just the whisky overpowering the roasty oxidized malts. The palate is sticky and oily, a bit gritty. Finishes dry yet molasses sweet. A fine brew indeed!
