Nostalgia and Celebration in a bottle. Raise a glass to the art of barrel ageing with this rich, complex imperial scotch ale aged in Speyside barrels. Smoke, stone fruit, and caramel blend together on the palate with a warming hum of whisky.

On tap. Pours brown with light head. Aromas of soft sugars, bready malts and light minerals. Flavors of raisin bread, toasty malts, minerals and brown sugar. Nice sweet aft scotch with a bit of a kick.

Bottle sourced online from the brewery. Pours dark ruby brown with a thick light tan head. Aroma is malty, dry, light smoke, jammy dark fruits, wood. Taste is burnt treacle, dark fruit, smoke, jam, raisins & vanilla. Heavy, distinctly boozy. Full bodied, foamy carb, super dry finish. Very decent, not quite top notch

Bottled. Hazy mahogany colour, coarse head. Malty bready nose with some peach brandy. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Mildly smokey, heavy on sherry and vodka. Caramel and bread. Warming finish with long bitterness.

Bardzo geste, lepkawe, syropowe cialo. Duzo sporo kandyzowanych i suszonych, ciemnych owocow. Karmelowo-toffi, mocno slodkie z ostrym posmak
