Complex earthy, smoky, and oak notes play against a refined, yet boozy, mix of sweet and bitterness. This remarkably limited version was 100% barrel aged for 12 months in scotch whiskey casks.

2016 "Remarkable limited release" according to the label. Bottle split at Gent Tasting. Opaque black color, small to average sized light brown colored head. Aroma is malts, liquor, light ash. Flavor is malts, roasted malts, liquor, raisins, bitter, quite some bitterness. Roasted malt bitterness. Hard on the liquor imo. But pleasant, notheless.

Oh yeah. Malty, roasty, bitter chocolate, molasses, plenty of vanilla. And the Scotch barrel aging is there, mostly in the finish with some
