Aromas of scotch, coffee , chocolate. Medium body but nice mouthfeel. Taste is complex with flavors of wood, scotch, roasted malts.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 18, 2008 On tap. Poured a dark brown with a nice tan head. Nose was mostly scotch. This had a very creamy mouthful, and the taste followed the nose, scotchy, and malty. Found the finish very interesting, with an ash like burnt flavor to it.It was almost like a whiskey millkshake. Very unique, and good. antzman (313), Clarksville, Indiana, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 17, 2008 Draft. Pours a jet black with a thin brown head. Not a ton of carbonation, but a little lacing on the glass. The aroma has strong peaty scotch characters, with a light roasted malt. The flavor is initially all scotch. This blends in well with the rich flavor of the beer as it warms. Flavors of roasted malt, oak, chocolate. Smooth, sweet finish. Very well made. badgerben (3596), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Black color with a thin head. Lots of peat and sea salt aroma. A little oak taste up front, which flows into a charred grain and slightly astringent malt character. The peat is more subdued than in other versions. The woodiness comes back on the finish for another bite. Very nice. 19641948 (492), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 14, 2008 Bottle No. & Date: 064256 / Sept 2007. Again, like the 12 and 16 it pours a deep dark inky black. This time, however, the rough pour produces a thick head of mocha foam. Laces in a thin sheet. Boozy aromatics with plenty of dark fruit, molasses, and smoky peat. The flavors here are by far the most whiskey-like and warming. Boozy and creamy, with a combo of scotch and woody vanilla to coat the tongue. Quite smoky. Plenty of chocolate. The best (for me) of the 3. Bhops (332), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 14, 2008 bottle from LA 7-11. Pours pitch black viscuous tar with no head, aroma of sweet crude, malts, sour milk?, chocolate and coffee. Flavor to match... tastes like piece of expensive dark chocolate. Heavy smokiness, dark fruits, molasses. Full mouthfeel. A lot to think about. dwyerpg (2529), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jun 13, 2008 This smells like a nice stout. This it crazy. It alternates between thick and thin. Sweet and with an initial bite that mellows out. This is the hoppiest of the three oddly. Excellent. aracauna (2374), Georgia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 11, 2008 I’m not sure if there’s a whole lot of difference in the three beers because I didn’t get the 30 year at the same time I tasted the other two back to back. There is a nice aroma of high quality dark chocolate, like the high percentage cacao stuff that tastes slightly winey, and dark berries. The whisky is strong in the aroma, but not too overpowering for the beer. Enjoyable.
