MrGGen (221), Italy Jun 6, 2009 Inatteso regalo di compleanno da un vero amico.
Colore nerissimo,con schiuma marrone e sottile di scarsa persistenza.Aroma meraviglioso,cioccolato,whisky,malto.In bocca č altrettanto ricca:cioccolato nero con sentori di vaniglia,whisky e foglie di quercia.Eccezionale.Vale tutti i soldi che il mio amico ha speso! Dough77 (771), Aurora, Illinois, USA Jun 4, 2009 Wish I had done the 3 of these side by side, but just did not find the opportunity. I found the 16yr to come across the best of the 3, but that was by notes, a side by side would have been top notch. Big thick and sticky pour. Notes of roasted malt, liqour, smoke, vanilla and coffee. Nothing to amaze, especially for the price tag that came along with it. Butters (1622), Virginia, USA May 27, 2009 Sampled at the Alexi TN distributor’s tasting; thanks Jim Bird! Tasted alongside the 12 and 16 year. All poured a very dark brown with a very small dark tan head. Roasty, hammy and creamy smooth. Just a little spicier and creamier than the other two. Pretty tasty stuff, the best of the three I thought, just way too expensive. IauditUUhateme (15), Coram, New York, USA May 23, 2009 Bottle, at Bellport Beer. I was lucky enough to walk in at the right time. Dave & another customer shared it with me. We drank it right off the shelf at room temperature. Wonderful aroma. Chocolate, whiskey, malt, sweet. Smokey, malty, sweet caramel flavors.
Absolutely a top notch beer. I took one home to savor! JK (2945), Richfield, Minnesota, USA May 22, 2009 A thick, heavy beer.Tons of malt, and no perceivalbe hops here. Appropriate level of alcohol, it is perceivable, but there is not too much of it. Flavor of roasted meat, smoke, and earth. An exceptional beer. ratman197 (3139), Arvada, Colorado, USA May 20, 2009 Bottle poured a nearly opaque black with a lasting brown head. Aromas of scotch, peat smoke, earthiness, roasted malt, pepper and bitter chocolate. Palate was medium to full bodied and smooth. Flavors of bitter chocolate, peat smoke, earthiness, oak, roasted malt, light scotch and a hint of licorice with a smooth lingering roasty smokey finish. LtDan (471), LA - Originally from South NJ!, California, USA May 19, 2009 Appearance: Jet brown with a trace of white at the top. Aroma: Vanilla, and a touch of wood and booze. As it got to room temperature, I smelled milk chocolate. Taste: wood, peaty malt, chocolate and a dash of whiskey. Mouthfeel: Thin Overall: Very balanced, with unique flavors. waolsen (1220), Littleton, Colorado, USA May 17, 2009 bottle. thanks mike. bad notes on this one. black with thin head. well balanced, smokey and enjoyable. really wish I would have had this one earlier in the night.
