Oct 6, 2008 No 22378, Sept 07. Yes, my favorite of the 3. This one comes off more balanced with the aromas, roast, oak, smoke, peat and chocolate... the 12 and 16 year are smoke, salt and peat bombs compared to this one. Highly enjoyable.

Oct 1, 2008 Black as the Scottish devil, supported by a beige head. Smoked, dark malts to the nose. Milky chocolate hints in a roasted malty flavour, added by soft warming whisky notes. Silky and very, very smooth in the mouth. Full bodied (sampled from bottle at EBF, 12.09.2008).

Sep 22, 2008 Pours blackish brown and cloudy with a thick tan head. Chocolate malt, oaky vanilla and big whiskey aroma. Smooth chocolate malt vanilla taste, not a much whiskey barrel as the aroma. Nice medium body and a great sipping beer. Very good. Not really sure which of the three I liked best.
