Nov 18, 2008 Thanks to Paul for sharing! Pours an inky black with no head. Strong oak and molasses aroma that’s heavy on the alcohol. Some fig, rum and raisin notes as well. Thick and chewy in the mouth. Lots of chocolate and oak with amazing depth and complexity of character. Incredibly oaky and strong tasty with an aftertaste like a fine whisky. I never would have guessed the ABV was only 8%. This is really a treat, a great sipper, and possibly the perfect nightcap.

Nov 17, 2008 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours thick with a dark brown body and a head that goes. Aroma of prunees, chocolate, whiskey, maple and smoke. Taste is smokey with wood, dark fruits, vanilla, figs and brandy. Creamy mouthfeel with light carbonation.

Nov 17, 2008 Bottle which Daniel bought me for my birthday in August. 2007 bottle. This one looks identical to the other 2 beers which are all the same thing anyway. Smell has a little more smoked peat in it, perhaps too much. Earthy, some chocolate, peat, and a little bit of oak from the barrel in the smell. The taste is close to the same, however the scotch persists through a little bit more on this one than the others. While I am a scotch drinker, I dont believe this beer is as good as the others. The scotch almost overwhelms the beer. An interesting concept, but they should have stopped with the 12 and 16. Oh well, at least it was drinkable. Would be good with a cigar probably.

Nov 1, 2008 not a fan of scotch, but this brew was great. aroma was scotch, which isnt a bad scent. flavor was smooth, but was enjoyable. If scotch tasted this way, i would drink it all the time. Great beer

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle from Stateline, #08171, 2007. Color was dark brown, thin head. The aroma was lots of vanilla on opening, some whiskey with whiskey. Flavor followed the aroma, vanilla, oak, whiskey, finishing each sip with some smoke. Pretty smooth, lots of overwhelming vanilla and whiskey notes, though, a little too much, yet decent. The mouthfeel was moderate and smooth, some grainy-silkiness.

Oct 22, 2008 Smells great, with a rich array of scotch and wood. the look is completely dark without transparent. taste doesn’t seem outstanding there with a bit of over carbonation for this type of beer.
