Pours black with a modest, spattered head reducing to a full, creamy canopy that lasts the duration. Aroma of espresso, smoke, coaco, and honey. Full, rich nectar with a few residual effers in the mouth only. Texture of pure cream baby! Flavors of roasted honey, coffee bean, copper, coaco, old leather, charcoal, stewed vegetables, and earth with a mild sweetness. I can faintly taste the cask. It’s got a peaty, smokiness about it that reminds me a an Islay malt. The finish has a perfect bittering. Overall: a fantastic brew that goes well with aged cheddar and crackers. Trump. Highly recommended.

Pours an opaque black with a thick tan head. As I was pouring this, the word "gorgeous" hit my mind. Like the beer soul I possess deep down, the nose spoke out. Strong malty wood with thicker cocoa qualities and an overall roasted character. Flavor is rich with chocolate character and a strong malt flavor. So meaty and earthy I almost want to start chewing it as I drink it. Feel is great. Small level of bubble and a nice smooth and thick liquid feel. I am shocked. Last night I tried the standard Old Engine Oil and had slightly higher expectations for this one. But geez. In no way did I expect to be hit with only my 2nd flat 5 rating as of yet. Unbelievable. Blows the hell out of the standard Old Engine Oil...and most other brews at that too.

330 ml, opaque black with a small, but beautifully creamy and lasting head. Roasty malt aroma of cocoa and espresso, some charred wood in there too. Flavors of peppery beef jerky, chocolate, oak, molasses, coffee, leather, brown sugar, char, vanilla, dates, tobacco, and green herbs are very well blended. Medium-heavy body is smooth and syrupy, with a slight tingle, and a nice drying finish. About as complex as they come, awesome, and thankfully not too heavy on the whiskey flavors.

Aroma is simply heavenly - rich and "stouty" with strong smoky and coffee undertones, as well as a sharp alcohol nip. It pours a deep, opaque sable with a thick tan head. Flavor is strong and smoky, with some bitterness but not too much. It is very smooth, yet goes down somewhat like strong liquor - you know exactly where it is in your esophagus. Perhaps this comes from being aged in single-malt whisky barrels.

Pitch black, light creamy head, strong whisky and lighter chocolate, coffee, vanilla and oak aroma’s. This beer smells good!! Taste is even better, first of all...whisky, smooth, sweet, light carbonation, excellent beer, bittersweet aftertaste. One of my favourites.
