Whisky Barrel Aged Wee Heavy (Auchentoshan) - 7 months.
As romantic as they may seem, the many castle ruins along the Anglo-Scottish border should only be approached with extreme caution. Because here in the rubble of algae-covered bricks from ancient fallen walls is where the Red Cap reigns. As small and timid as this little goblin-style creature may seem, as fast you should run if you ever meet one. The Red Cap is said to favor ruins of castles that once witnessed violent or gruesome events. Here he will wait for the occasional visitor which he will kill by throwing big pieces of rock at this unfortunate soul. When the target is dead, the Red Cap will soak his cap in his victim’s blood. And since the Red Cap will die if the blood of his victims ever dries out, this little creature is extremely dangerous and always on the prowl for new blood. In spite of our earlier advice to run when encountering a Red Cap, you may be hard pressed to outrun him. Red Caps are speedy little buggers. Instead you should start quoting that Bible you always carry in your back pocket, or hold up a cross - only these actions will drive the Red Cap away. He will then disappear in a flash of flames, leaving behind only a big tooth. Why exactly a tooth, nobody knows - but a tooth it always is.

33cl bottle from Biiru's Christmas Calendar. Malty and caramelly with notes of whisky, sherry and wood. Sweet and somewhat boozy, but quite drinkable and rather enjoyable. Nice winter warmer.

A dark red-brown beer, a head is almost medium and beige. Aroma has dried fruits, raisin, some caramel and whiskey. Taste has maltyness, caramel, some whiskey and barrel. Almost full bodied. Surprisingly easy to drink. Good barreling, it's quite strong, but it plays nicely with the caramel body.

Dark brown colour with thin soapy head and practically no carbonation. Aroma and flavour have a huge amount of wood, too much actually, it's too dominant. The booziness is noticeable but I don't particularly get whisky. Decent strong ale but didn't meet expectations.

Romjulstreff på Bjørnøy med seremonimesteren og skibsrederen 28.12.20: den første av tre 0,33 flasker fra Toft Vinhandel på Islands Brygge (og mitt nesten helt tomme København-lager). brunsvart med kort, storboblet skum. Herlig preg av fatlagringen, jeg får assosiasjoner til rundturer på skotske distillerier (alt for mange år siden, men rart hvordan noen minner sitter). Eik/vanilje, mørke malter, hint av torvrøyk og einer. Farlig lettdrikkelig. A velvet fist.

Bottle at home. Opaque dark brown color, full sized rough beige head. Aroma is malts, heavy barrel notes, light green apples, whiskey soaked raisins. Flavor is similar, with a nice boozy bitterness. Heavy but nice. I will sleep well tonight for sure.
