aroma: hard smell to describe. thick chewy black stout.. a small hint of whiskey.. i think. it smells good, just dont have words for it.. not coffee.. not chocolate.. not dark fruits.. maybe leather.
flavor: WOW, strong powerful wash of leather and oak and dark malt.. not to bitter, not to sweet.. odd.. very odd. the more i drink the less i like it. this is odd and kinda abusive. taste more like the memory of a grandfather than a drink.
palate: thin.. to thin. to many bubbles.
overall: the acidic bitter finish is not good. the richness gives way to bitter pain. this is all wrong.

Apr 5, 2008 Updated: Feb 26, 2009Pours a deep, mahogany brown. Insanely peaty-smoky aroma, a touch of acridity as well. Seems to be a touch of rum-like sweetness trying to come out. The flavor is dominated by the smoke, with the roasted component showing up on the finish.

Apr 4, 2008 330mL bottle, courtesy of wickedpete. Thanks, Pete! Pours a very dark, murky chocolate color; light brown head with fine-bubbled lacing. Reasonable amounts of peat, moss, and soft oaky scotch notes; the chocolate and nougat character of the original is relaxed here; a touch of milk and bitter chocolate coming through. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: light carbonation; lots of nougat and baker’s chocolate, with a soft amount of scotch and oak and warming alcohol coming; the scotch is well-integrated, but doesn’t add a lot to the base beer; just a touch of scotch. Medium finish, showing bitter chocolate and warming alcohol and nougat.

Apr 4, 2008 Bottle shared by wickedpete. Oily, resinous dark brown body. Smells like peppery olive and fish, some nail polish, and some oily smoke. Flavor is more calamata olives - dry but smooth and oily, the resnious olive note, though, is a bit tough to deal with. Still has some whiskey character, which is nice. I’m not sure what to think of it.

Apr 4, 2008 Bottle @ redlight. Pours black and thick into a snifter with no head. Aroma is peat, liquor burn, sweet malt, vanilla. Very much like having a glass of scotch. Taste is thick and malty with hints of the whiskey and roasted grain. Spicy aftertaste. Very nice.
