Pours completely black with a small head. Aroma is rich with a lot of whisky, round, malty, loads of dark malts. Some dark fruit, especially plums. Big body. Flavour is dominated by dark malts, loads of whisky, some peat. A lot of dark fruit, plums and figs, maybe some berries. Really nice!

Peaty and a little iodine but in a brilliantly clever and balanced way which makes the base beer sing. Loads of crema and molases and toffee. A superb beer.
