Marked batch 007 on the bottle label. Matured in a Carsebridge 1963 cask although this is not detailed on the label.
This bottle containes our Imperial Stout which has been matured in specially selected Scottish Grain whisky casks resulting in a complex vanilla overload and a unique whisky and beer fusion.

330 ml bottle sampled in 2008. Dark brown, close to black body with a small beige head. Aroma gives an impression of sweet malt, roast, coffee and whisky. Flavor has sweet, roasted malt, coffee, caramel and whisky. Fine body and smooth aftertaste. Very nice but there is a few even more complex whisky oaked imps from Brewdog out there.

Bottle from trade with thewolf. It pours very dark brown (near black), with a small, bubbly white head. The nose is toasted coconut, whisky, treacle, roasted malt, coffee, oak, vanilla and chocolate. The taste is roasted malt, meat, coffee, alcohol warmth, charcoal, wood, whisky, toasted coconut, vanilla and decent bitterness, with a warming, dry-roasted finish. Full body, low carbonation and slightly oily mouth-feel. This has held up well.

Opaque black stout. Short lived tan head. Soft palate.Smooth rich dark malt, not dry or bitter. Minerals in the light whisky. Found this similar to batch 002 but lighter and minus the mild vanilla wood. Minerally finish with a little aniseed.

Bottle @ Joes, thnx for sharing. Note: Best Before 31-12-2008. Very dark brown, almost black but a slight deep dark red, almost purple glow coming through. Small lacing, no head. Smell whisky, wine, wood. Taste wood. Low carbo (probably due to the ’long overdate’), smooth texture, low to medium body.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice sized tan head that fades away nicely. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, alcohol, whiskey, nuts, pecans, caramel and a bunch of sweet flavours - not overly done and smells pretty nice throughout. Medium to Full-bodied; Pungent robust maltiness with a lot of sugars, some oak, vanilla and bourbon tastes throughout and a long roasted malt and coffee essence on the end. Overall, a nice and rather well-rounded stout - showing well with the age (two years I’ve had it), with a good complexity, but not over profiled tastes. I sampled this in conjunction with the Paradox Islay, and this was far better in my opinion. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from the Utobeer Market Stall in Borough (London), England on 08-March-2008, sampled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 28-May-2010. Best Before - 02 December 2008.

33cl bottle at home. found in ølbutikken, cph. boy do i look forward to this one. i like whiskey, i like beer, i like stout, i like barreled beer. this can’t go wrong. bottle is well aged (best before 2008-11-01 according to danish beerhouse label on top of capsule) pours almost black, with a small light brown fluffy head. Seen before with barrel aging, but it is just a 3 anyways. first sniff reveals a nice round mellow whisky aroma, very round and soft. more sniffing reveals hard roasted malts, coffee, licorice. i think i might be serving it too cold, it’s probably only 6 celcius right now. my bad. i’ll let it stay for a while before tasting. bottle says serve at room temperature. okay. well now it’s igloo room temperature i guess. flavor is vanilla, american whisky, subdued roasted malts. wood (oak), roasted sugar. ends bitter and with a distinct whiskey feel to it.
