Bottle; poured a clear, dark orange with a smallish white head. Aroma of honey, caramel, whiskey and wood; very sweet. Flavor dominated by sweet, buttery malt and whiskey. Toasted biscuit lingers for awhile on the palate. Was really hoping to like this more, but I don’t think it worked all that well. I think I’m not a big fan of the butteriness. Overall it was a bit messy.

Oct 11, 2008 Pours a clear golden color with very thin white head. Interesting aroma with hints of honey, oakwood, citrus and fresh green apples. Thin watery flavor of sour applejuice, oakwood and walnut with a sour alcoholic finishing. Mouthwatering sourness and thin watery body

Oct 10, 2008 Co-worker got a case for his birthday and I was able to wrestle a bottle away from him. Scottish brewers add dimension to their portfolio with whiskey-oaked English Strong Ale. Woody, vanilla, whiskey sweetened ale that I found unique and enjoyable.

Oct 5, 2008 Sour oak aroma. Clear orange color with a small white head. Moderate oak flavor to start off. Finishes with a creamy vanilla taste.

Oct 1, 2008 Bouteille transparente de 330 ml. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur dorée-cuivrée avec une mousse blanche modeste. Notre nez respire des arômes de whiskie, de purée de banane, de vanille et de caramel avec des effluves d’alcool. En bouche notre langue supporte un corps moyen avec une effervescence moyenne. Nos papilles gustatives quand à elles font connaissance avec des saveurs de vanille, de banane, de whiskie avec des notes caramélisées, boisées et alcoolisées. Excellent. Merci Thierry

Sep 30, 2008 Had this in a gold rimmed Innis & Gunn glass on 1/1/07 at an All-Bar-One in London. Pours a coppery color with a smaller 1/4 finger off white head. Earth tones, scotch, oak, and hops on the aroma. First taste is Vanilla, oak, malt, chocolate, caramel and grapes. Finishes with some light bitters, oak, chocolate, earth, and a big dry malt taste. Palate is smooth and creamy. An excellent beer for sure. I wonder what everyone else was drinking! Aftertaste is a little malt heavy.
