3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
9th September 2009
Opaque black brown beer. Soft creamy palate. Light chocolate nose. Dark malt. Wood and minerals. A little unsweet chocolate. The whisky is smooth and almost subtle and lends a little sourness. Smooth easy drinking!

Bottle. Now wow, this is proper presentation, a nifty box, foil wrapped cap, and a fancy little "necklace" around the bottle neck. Pours a dar brown color with some slight red highlights. Very little head but what head there is collars around the glass a light tan. Molasses and dark fruit notes in the nose along with dark chocolate. Medium mouthfeel. Chocolate, leather, tobacco, and roast coffee in the flavors at different times. The barrel aging to me is subtle and sleeps in the background on this one. Much easier drinking than expected. Tasty.

330ml bottle pours jet black in color with a small off-white head with virtually no lacing on the glass. Aromas of chocolate and coffee with some smokey wood and whiskey notes. Taste is chocolate malty sweetness with some roasted barley and coffee bitterness mingled with a whiskey and smokey wood finish. Heavy body and mild carbonation. An interesting and tasty brew best enjoyed as a slow sipper.

Una birra semplicemente strepitosa. La sua complessità è pari a quella di un buon whisky, ma con tutti i vantaggi dell’essere birra, e quindi alcol contenuto e buona bevibilità. La Ola Dubh merita 5 di diritto.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Small beige head over nearly black beer. Whisky, peat, chocolate, smoking woodfire, praliné. Hazelnuts, smoked over a light peatfire, whisky. Smoked ham and chocolate and felt in the background, wine on oak. Very high alcoholcontent, totally viscous. Exceptional beer, the whisky being totally blended in.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
31/12/2011 Bir&Fud Bottega (330ml bottle). Nera, liquorosa, quasi impenetrabile, riflessi color caffè, morbida schiuma color beige, non molto persistente. Aroma straordinariamente intenso di malti tostati, whisky, botte, note alcoliche e affumicate. In bocca è meno esplosiva, malti tostati e affumicato leggero (molto elegante), ha un corpo medio, consistenza vellutata al palato, e una carbonazione quasi assente. Mirabile esempio di complessità ed equilibrio. Una birra semplicemente magnifica.
