COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Pasteurised bottle.
Ingredients: Optic malt; chocolate malt; Goldings hops.
The pasteurised beer is sent to the Glenfiddich distillery and used to seal American white oak barrels; and then transferred to a marrying tun where the barrels are blended. The bottled beer is stored for a month before being distributed to shops. The period spent in the barrel, then the marrying tun and then the bottle gives the beer the name "Triple Matured".

tbopslt (158) - New York, USA - FEB 23, 2013
Sampled at the International Great Beer Expo, Rock Hill, NY. Definitely my favorite of the afternoon. Pours a dark, tea like color. Very small head but good lacing. Very strong but pleasant aroma of malt and a hint of vanilla. Very smooth tasting. A hint of bourbon and possibly vanilla. I can’t stress how much I liked this beer. This cannot be compared to traditional brews of any sort. It has a full mouthfeel and definitely not a session beer. A great beer for one or two on a cold night.

33 cl bottle @ Turtola. Rated on 03.09.2010
Vertical with Rum Cask & Original. This one placed last.
Aroma is sweet with toffee, oaky notes, rum and hints of vanilla. Flavour has rather intensive rum and oaky notes. Also some toffee and vanilla. Too strong on oak and rum, not my thing.

Very nice mellow deep beer. Not too thick or concentrated but some nice vanilla a toffee notes. Tiny head and low carbonation. Beautiful clear amber drink. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

sulawang (408) - British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 17, 2012
pours cola brown with barely any head, thin ringed retention, micro CO2. Medium caramel malts on the nose. Super clean and balanced taste of sweet caramel malts, cola, light coffee, toffee, amaretto, cocoa, and ends with a light bittersweet finish. Medium complexity, medium depth, great transitions, good carry, excellent drinkability. An excellent beer and a definite go-to as a recommendation.
