[5/3/14] Draught sample at Copenhagen Beer Celebration. 4th session. Black with a brown head. Smoked whiskey aroma with some chocolate in the background. Bittersweet flavor full of peaty smokiness, roast and some coffee and chocolate. Full-bodied. Really good.

03.05.2014, tap @ CBC:
Nice brown creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet and well peated, dark sugar, peat, leather, burnt caramel, ashtray, cocoa, coffee, whisky, hay, tar. Taste is very dry peated, tar, ashtray, burnt caramel, burnt coffee, cocoa, hay, leather, whisky, oak. Longlasting bitterness, very dry burnt mouthfeel. Fair enough.

Sampled @ CBC 2014. Opaque pitch black color, beige head. Aroma of malts, dark malts, loads of peat and fingerpaint I used in school as a kid. Taste malts, dark malts, peat, bitter, roasty, some alcohol. Fortunately a little less peaty in the taste than in the aroma. nicely barrel aged.
