aroma of honey, all honey. Very smooth tasting, lots of honey all the way. Some finishing notes of burnt honey and black licorice.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: JAN 24, 2012 Pours dark black, with tan head. The smell is barbeque smoke and grain. The taste is heavy smoke and a little Scottish whiskey with a lighter imp stout body. There is some honey noticeable and it is a very thoughtful addition as it adds a great sweet respite from the peat whiskey and smoke. A very big stout, and a true "man?s beer", as it was originally labeled. It wasn’t amazing at first but as it warmed it got better and better, by the end it was almost kbs good, smooth and rich and strong.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Colour... opaque black with a tan head. Nose... very roasty with charcoal dust, bonfire and whisky. Palate... tremendous depth with a gently frothy mouthfeel and waves of bittersweet chocolate, oak, charred earth, and of course whisky, all of which resonate across the entire palate. Wish I had more bottles of this one!

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2011 Premier contact avec ce monstre: Hiiirsh! Ça sent la cire à chaussure, j’espère que ça goûte pas la même chose? Oui, justement ça goûte la même chose avec la fumée en extra. Deuxième contact: Ah! Ça sent le porto avec ses grasses notes de bois sec et de raisins trop mûr. L’alcool et le chocolat me semblait très présent également. Troisième contact: Une grenade de miel m’éclate au visage alors que le whiskey brut suit pas loin derrière. Après plusieurs gorgées, le palais fini par comprendre un peu ce qui s’est passé. Tout ce que j’ai décrit plus tôt s’y retrouve, accompagné du tabac, goudron et mélasse. À certains moments, j’avais l’impression de boire une pinte de stout dans laquelle j’avais installer un shooter de whiskey. Une des bière les plus incontrôlable que j’ai bu.

Bottle. Pitch black pour with a large, dense brown head that lasts a while. Aroma is quite roasty, smoky and a little boozy, with hints of dark chocolate, licorice and whisky. Flavour has some sweetness and hints of coffee, honey and dark fruit up front, giving way to powerful wood, smoke, chocolate and roast malt notes on the back palate. Thick, creamy mouthfeel with moderate to low carbonation and a long bitter, roasty finish.
