Apr 8, 2009 Bottle at home.Black and thick. Deep malts, sticks to me and the glass. The whisky aging is really nice and adds various flavors to the thick, chewy body.

Apr 5, 2009 Pours near black with a mostly receding wispy brown head. Aroma of molasses, candy, toffee, brown sugar, vinous malt, and spice. Mouthfeel is full bodied with light carbonation. A very elegant beer.

Apr 4, 2009 2009-04-02. Pitch black with a modest chocolate brown head. Aroma is boozy at first, fairly mild dark malt, light roasty malt. (7+) Flavour has a boozy introduction with whisky up front but it leads nicely into a rich malt profile. Roasty malt is very lightly smokey/peat touched. Mild alcohol and bitterness linger pleasantly in the aftertaste. It is not overly complex at times, but it is pleasantly rich. Smooth medium to full bodied palate. (4+) Rather good, surprisingly drinkable. Bottle from Village Beer Merchant, Buffalo

Apr 3, 2009 Very complex ale here. Deep dark brown in colour (barely any head) with hints of coffee, toffee, butterscotch and pine on the nose. Taste was very roasted with a sharp afterbite and some licorice taste on the lips. A very fine brew that I hope to find again.

Apr 1, 2009 Bottle. Very deep brownin colour. Great aroma of whiskey.With some peaty notes and roasted malt aromas. palate is sweetish, but the whiskey characters do dry it out. Lots of whiskey character, soft and balanced, with a nice hit of warmth in the finish. It does have a slightly dead finish, no length on the mouth feel, although the flavour seems to last a while. Well made i think, but just lacked that extra oomph in the finish.
kkearn (994), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Mar 31, 2009 11.2oz bottle, # 02880 bottled Sept 2007. Sampled side-by-side with the 16 and 30. Pours very deep brown, nearly opaque, with a thin tan head. Nice roasted malt aroma with peat and whiskey. Flavor is very peaty, with some charcoal and burnt malt. These were all pretty similar, this stood out as the heaviest on the peat and charcoal.
tlind2 (560), Helsinki, Finland
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.
