--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Black, small beige head. Huge aroma of peaty Iskay whisky. Very sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Lots of cane sugar, some syrup, lots of peaty Islay whisky. Peppery warming finish. So much good in here, but also so much sugar. Achingly, insanely sweet, but all that Laphroig make me forgive a lot of that.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Pitch black colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is Laphroaig, syrup, wood and mild herbal tones with some chocolate and mild smoke tones. Flavour is Laphroaig with some syrupy, coffeeish and mild alcohol sweetness. Roasted and chocolaty too.

Pours opaque dark brown with minimal head retention. Aromas are intensely sweet with sharp, smoky, and boozy scents, featuring brown sugar, toffee, syrup, honey, smoked whisky, and burnt peat. The taste is intensely sweet, followed by moderate sourish bitterness, with a sugary, boozy aftertaste.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours an opaque black with a small, light brown head. Nose has overwhelming peat! Dominates completely. Rich, sweet body - as in sugary sweet. Hardly any carbonation, massive peat, iodine and tar. The massive alcohold is buried in sugar and the strong flavors. Don't try to search for anything resembling balance. There isn't any. An extreme beer indeed. 300321
