A rich, dark and intensely flavourful Imperial Stout, packed with burnt coffee and lemon scents, skillfully balanced by sweet sherry and raisin flavours derived from a short period in Lowland malt whisky casks. A smoky, slightly acrid mouthfeel, and a long burnt finish.

(Bottle) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, woody nose with notes of chocolate, dark bread, liquorice, whisky and oak wood. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, dark bread, liquorice, oak wood, whisky and a mild roasty bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a slight sweetness. The wood is not quite as prominent as in their other barrel aged beers, but definitely there. Not perfectly balanced, but rich and tasty. Nice one.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma is liquorice, some alcohol, mild dried fruits and some slight spiciness. Flavour is chocolate, roast, some dried fruits and ashes with mild herbal and earthy tones. Lacks some oomph.
