Bottle. Pitch black colored. Peaty, malty aroma. malty sweet flavor with dark chocolate and peat. Almost salty, like a fresh sea breeze. Hint of licorice. Iodine in aroma and flavor. I just love Islay malt and combined with this Imperial Stout, that makes it a happy marriage.

Bottle, many thanks to CGarvie for this old BD. It pours very dark brown with a small beige head. It pours very dark brown with a small beige head. The nose is roasted malt, TCP, medicinal, brown sugar, wood and caramel. The taste is roasty, peat, smoke, earth, toast, light alcohol, brown sugar, medicinal notes and spice with a very dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Smooth and full of great Islay whisky character. Has held-up well. Tasty stuff!

Opaque black stout. Softish dry palate. Peaty smoky whisky, not overwhelming. Rich malt with subtle banana ester. Aniseed alcohol. Finishes with mild minerals and more peaty whisky. Rich and rewarding.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bu11zeye. Pours black with an orange hue and a rough beige head. Loads of tar and iodine in the nose - this is Islay for you alright! Solid body, fairly sweet hard roast, some dark fruits and then overpowering peat and tar. Roasty finish. 150311
