It pours a black color with glorious creamy brownish head. The aroma of the dark ale is complemented by tones of glueish alcohol, the whisky. It has a good body structure, yet the mouthfeel is not sticky; flavor of roasted malts, dark caramel, dark chocolate. The final shows at first elegant single malt whisky notes, then the roasted malts; quite dry. Probably one of the beers where the whisky has the best presence. Elegant and powerful.

Black color; big head. Mild cask and smoke aroma, caramel. Medium body strength, quite smooth mouthfeel, with a good combination of caramel, chocolate malt and light smoke, a touch of whisky. In the end there is some more chocolate malt. Balanced, but sometimes a bit empty, mainly the final (weak), without vibes.
