Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Peaty aroma with roasted malt, chocolate, ash. Touch of mocha. Flavour is medium sweet and mild bitter. Full body, good. More whisky than bourbon. Nice level of peat. Frontaal nailed this one.

Medium brown, not much head. Light body with a lot of Islay peat smoke coming through. That'�s the main theme here.

330mL can sampled at Weathered 2023, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out bourbon and whiskey barrels, with medium roast and some sugars. Flavour is loaded with whiskey barrels, bourbon, and a sturdy roasted palate. Lots of wonderful scotch whiskey. Lovely barrel character.

Poured from 330mL can @ Weathered 2023. Dark brown with minimal beige head. Aroma lacking compared to taste. Some nice peaty malt notes with some mild bourbon notes, feint hint of chocolate. Not a bad balance, just wish the aroma lived up to the taste.

(Can, 0.33 l, at Koht, thanks FatPhil, 20220707) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had wood, vanilla, ash and vineousness. Palate was full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, vanilla, vineousness, ash, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, burnt and bitter. A tasty burnt brew with nice barrel effects.

330 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with full head. Aromas of caramel, soft bourbon, vanilla, chocolate nougat, and slick roasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional soft whiskey and oak. Beautiful barrel balance, sufficient to add sweetish and complex flavors without overkill
