Bottle 2012 vintage shared at home. Black with brown head that doesn’t last too long. Peaty up front, lots of red berries, blackberries, porto, toffee, espresso, peated scotch, roasted notes. Some dried fruits with peach and apple, old wood, ash. Taste is medium sweet, light sour and lasting bitter finish. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Hmmm a slight sour and peated RIS, something I usually don’t like much, but I actually enjoy this a lot.

Bottle, two years old. Black oily pour, very small white brown head. Strong aroma of smoke, peat and chocolate. Taste is quite strong, with peat, smoke, sweet malt, milk chocolate and some mocca. Somewhat bitter and boozy finish. Good beer, with a little bit more body it would be even better.

Aroma has strong, peaty and sweet whisky tones. Also licorice. Flavour has rather stinging whisky tones, sweet fruits(!) and tobacco. Also licorice, alcohol and smoke. Whisky is too dominant here.

Pours pitch black with a bubbly brown head. Aroma of strong peaty notes, roastiness, wood, oak, vanilla, ash and smoke. Taste is peaty, stingy and woody with some sticky sweetness and leathery notes. Finish is strong, boozy and peaty with some sticky sweetness, wood, ash and leather. A bit unbalanced and too strong on the peaty notes.
