peaty whisky and fruity sherry barrels play a big part in this one,
expect those flavours, along with chocolate, wood and booze.

Can at CBJ Tasting. Aroma is peat led, followed by underlying dark dough. Flavourwise it's got a long boozy edge. Underlying dough. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish.

Bottleshare at CBJ. Thanks to Dan the man for the can. Almost opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth and soft palate, modest fine carbonation. Fairly peaty dark malts, decent chocolate underneath. Whiskey soaked dark fruits. Very mild spice on the light and semi dry finish.

Quite Smokey, peaty. Very dry, earthy, loads of burnt grass, light cocoa. Bitter and dry to finish. Lingering peat smoke.

Jet black indeed! Love the contrast with the white can. Super peaty and chocolatey.

Jet black with a mid-size beige head. Biiiig booze, whiskey, peat notes, loads of molasses, caramel, chocolate, earth, oak. Full, thick and slick body. I get just a hint of that sherry sweetness but the Islay dominates. It’s a bruiser.

(Sherry + Islay)
Can shared at tasting. Opaque black color, virtually no head. Aroma is malts, clearly islay coming through. Flavor is malts, roast, again clearly islay dominating, nicely bitter. Very pleasant, very balanced. Lovely body. Very pleasant this one. 8-8-8,5-9-8,5

Geprobeerd met Benzai, Keukeman en Roelzie. Diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier. Het heeft een aroma van gebrande mout en whisky. De smaak is vol gebrande mout, whisky en een hint turf.
