Cask No head, black beer. Sweetish, bit lactic/milky, and touches of both liquorice and vanilla. Not really the whisky. Vanilla, chocolate, chocolate wafers, just a touch of roasty bitterness in the very finish. Well-bodied, very slick, some alcoholwarming. Better than the sum of its parts, really, and certainly not one to miss if you find it. Still, for a whiskybarrel-lagered IS, it is a bit too shy.

Cask @ ACBF 2012, Moen. Brune foncée, col beige léger. Arôme de malt et barrique qui reste très faible. En bouche, léger houblon, malt présent, je ne perçois pas trop de barrique, reste très légère pour 8.5% avec un fini chocolaté. Reste faiblarde et dommage que le barrique ne ressorte pas plus, surtout après un traitement de 6 mois dans cette dernière.

Cask. A dark brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, whiskey, malt, caramel, wood, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of vanilla, roasted malt, whiskdy, alcohol, and chocolate, leading to a dry roasted, and woody finish.

Cask at The Rake’s ’Cumbrian Beer Festival’. Dark brown pour with a beige head. Raisins, dark chocolate and burnt caramel aromas. Fruit and nut flavours with some coffee and chocolate. Light bitter finish. Good alcohol burn, quite heavy going.

Cask at the Rake. It pours very dark mahogany with a large foamy beige head and soft carbonation. The nose is charcoal, peat, whisky, honey and liquorice. The taste is charcoal, whisky, peat, hay, sesame seed, toast, a little soy sauce, burnt sugar, cherry, liquorice and some alcohol warmth in the finish. Interesting, but a bit too savoury to be moreish.
