Pours black, no real head. Smell is full, bourbon, taste is sharp boozy, very roasty. Nice. But not that unique...

BOTTLE shared with mcberko - thanks! Pitch black. Well, strait on whisky barrel, no rough edges, smooth, with balanced roasty malț and hops, just the right amount of barrel character. World class.

330mL bottle, courtesy of rouhlas (thanks Nikos!), pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is very complex, with the JD barrels showcasing well the barrels, with a touch of cocoa and wood. Flavour is along the same lines, with rather cheap-tasting JD barrels upfront, with light roast. I'm not hugely convinced by the JD. It's certainly solid, but not the elite beer that Greeks think it is.

330 ml bottle at home. Black color with beige brown head. Roasted malty aroma, chocolate, cocoa, dark dried fruits, some bready grainy notes (mostly when I tasted it from tap), wood, alcohol, soy sauce (mostly in the taste), light vanilla and caramel. Heavy sweet and moderate bitter taste. Full silky oily to creamy body with soft carbonation.
