SMOKED STOUT AGED IN SCOTTISH WHISKY BARRELS - 12.5%
A full bodied, thick double mashed stout that has been aged for 24 months in Scotch whisky barrels - ⅔ in Islay barrels and ⅓ in Speyside barrels. This gives an immediate hit of smokey, rich whisky notes with a touch of burnt caramel and raisin. Although the peated malt is a dominant character, the smooth velvety texture and deep sweetness also gives notes of coffee, chocolate and cinnamon, with a round soft alcohol finish making it a perfect after dinner drink or lovely winter warmer.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Black, small head. Intense peaty whisky aroma, but also with more fruity whisky notes. Mid sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity and peaty with dark caramel, coffee and lots of both elegant and smoky whisky. Warming mid bitter finish. The whisky lends this beer loads of complex character.

Thanks fonefan! Black colour, small white head. Aroma is wooden, alcohol and some chocolate syrup. A bit too long in the wood. Flavour is sweet vanilla, some peated, smoky and mild toffee tones with some alcohol , chocolate and syrup. Aroma was feeling like too long on the wood, flavour is kind of a good time in the wood.

Tap at Beergeek Bar with Gurthnar. Black body, off-white head. Sharp peat and raisin aroma, glue and paint. Whee.... Sweet smooth taste, glue, peat, light chocolate, alcohol and damn the barrel is rough here - already heavily peated which might not appeal to everyone, but also seemingly problematic. Good body, looks good, but that's where the positives top.

Rather offensive than delicious. Sharp, lots of peat, but not in a good way. Strong, but not delicious. Meh.
