Bottle. Almost black and opague. The aroma has dark chocolate, cream and hints of oak and peat. Malty sweet flavor with oak and peat, followed by dark chocolate and toffee. The single malt whisky is well noticed and adds to the character. Well balanced and delicious beer, maybe still a bit young.

Der Geruch ist ein Mittelding zwischen Imperial Stout und schön holzigem Whisky. Schon der Antrunk ist komplex-tiefgehend. Tolle schokoladen-kaffe Aromen des Imperial Stout zusammen mit einer milden Holzigkeit des Speyside-Whiskys. Der Hauptteil wird etwas herber, die schönen Stout-Aromen treten hinter der Herbe etwas zurück. Zum Nachgeschmack wird das ganze wieder schön rund und sehr interessant komlex. Zum Schoko-kaffe kommt eine schöne milde Holznote, die aber etwas mehr ausgeprägt sein könnte. Auf der Zunge bleibt eine Holzig-vanillige Schoko-Kaffe Note
→ Auch eine sehr nette Bier-Whisky Kombination, aber mir persönlich hat die Kombination mit dem in Grain-Whisky Fässern gelagerten Bier besser gefallen. Da waren die Holzaromen mit den Whisky-Vanille Aromen viel besser ausgeprägt. Trotzdem lecker. 13+12+12+12

Almost black, minimal boring head. Nose is super sweet, some chocolate and caramel not much booziness on the nose. Thin taste, lots of oak, some tobacco and charred wood. Bitter medicinal finish with some residual sweetness. "best by 09" obviously well past it’s prime

Bottle, many thanks to CGarvie! It pours deep brown with a reddish hue and a small quickly dissipating beige head. The nose is earth, wood, mellow roast, light smoke, dates and stewed cherry. The taste is roasted malt, cocoa, earth, spice, oxidised notes, light bitteress, rubber, cracked black pepper, dust and coffee grinds with a very dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Great to try, but over the hill methinks.

A solid Imperial Stout, yet not quite ready for greatness. Paradox Speyside has everything you want in a good whisky-aged stout, yet does nothing to differentiate itself from the pack. Plus, it could be because this bottle I’m consuming is 5-day-old Coke flat. No bubbles. Should I not rate it? Because it still tastes pretty good as a cold, coffee-like beverage, and the Speyside is apparent throughout the beer as you drink it. If only it had bubbles, it might be classic.

Bottled. Pitch black colour, with small beigeish brown head. Aroma is oak, some whisky, mild coffee and chocolate as well. Roasted malts and toffee is also there. Flavour is vanilla, oak, some roasted malts, mild sticky whiskyish alcohol like notes as well as some chocolate. Hides the alcohol quite nicely.
