Jan 25, 2010 A Mes rate. Bottle at Toms as part of the full vertical for Burns Night.
Black brown with a tan film topping. Excellent. Fruity as hell, lovely chocolate and utterly fantastic minerals and seaweed. Smoky and chewy. Liquorice and charcoal with some good boozy notes in the finish. Not the best of the bunch but still really good.

Jan 19, 2010 Bottle from Chevy Chase, Washington DC; bottled Sept 2007, 2 years old
parallel tasting with Ola Dubh 40 years old
Black color; beige creamy head. Already from the bottle it’s possible to notice a whisky aroma; it has a very good, yet not strong, aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, a bit creamy, with hints of vanilla, wood and whisky; more intriguing than in the other version.
It has a lean body, but well structured; the chocolate flavor is in the front, with late caramel and wood; there is some residual sweetness, with light liquorice and light whisky.
The final is balanced, mellower than the flavor, with the liquorice and whisky more evident. The alcohol is only warming the mouth, not evident. After some time in the glass, it’s less biting and more plain than the 40 years. Yet interesting.

Jan 5, 2010 Bevuta spillata a pompa al ma che siete venuti a fà... al naso è un esplosione di whisky legno di botte caffè torrefatto tabacco da sigaro.....in bokka purtroppo mi ha un pò deluso per la carbonazione quasi inesistente ke la rende un po troppo pesante da bere... nel complesso però ho apprezzato la complessità è l’eleganza di questa birra ke tira fuori tante note diverse in maniera estremamente armonica...

Dec 20, 2009 (Bottle) Pours dark brown, black in the glass with a creamy brown head. The aroma is of round whisky, peat, wood, soft tannins, mild vanilla, light dirty oxidation, nuts, dark chocolate, salty soy, earth, wet tobacco, Madeira wine, liquorice, brown sugar and sweet dark fruits like figs, prunes and raisins. Clear notes of dry and dusty roast. The flavour is light to medium sweet, light bitter, light salty and tiny tart acidic. The nice round maltiness blends well with the whisky character. Notes of chocolate, brown sugar/caramel, dark fruits, oxidation, wood, mild smoke, liquorice, toffee, nuts, Madeira wine, roasted vegetables and broth. The mouthfeel is round with a nice umami-like touch. The carbonation is maybe a tad too lively. Lingering aftertaste of mild roast, Madeira wine and dried fruits. Medium (to medium full) bodied. This beer is more flavourful and interesting than super duper.

Dec 18, 2009 Black with some brown shining through, small head that leaves pretty nice lazing on the snifter. Aroma is rather heavy peaty whisky with notes of liqourice, smoke and tar. Flavour is intensely peated, salty and oaky with notes of vanilla, liqourice, ashtray and wet wood. Ends on a very peated salty note with alcohol warming the tummy. Mouthfeel is medium and very smooth. Nice heavy whisky character here.
