From our series "Wicked Tales of Scotland" - 4 whisky barrel-aged beers released at the brewery February 2nd 2019.
Whisky Barrel Aged Heavily Peated Imperial Stout (Laphroaig).
Now first of all, don’t get things mixed up: Black Donald was here way before that other Donald. And Black Donald is not involved in race or politics. Black Donald is all about plain evil, because he is himself the Devil – plain and simple. Black Donald takes many shapes. He may come as the well-dressed guest at the poker table – only given away by the cloven-hoofed goat feet he hides underneath. Those feet will always give him away, no matter what disguise he uses. And as a goat is how you’ll most often see him – with a long chain clanking after him. As this shape-shifting goat, Black Donald is known to cause terror all over the North of Scotland, often for no other purpose than to simply frighten people. If for some reason you need the help of the Devil – for instance against your enemies – a so called taghairm can be formed. A sort of spiritual calling involving the spit-roasting of live cats. It’s a long and complicated ceremony, and we honestly cannot recommend it. Also since you will forever be indebted to Black Donald himself.

Bottled. A black beer with athin dark brown head. The aroma has notes of peated smoke, roasted malt, whiskey, and dark chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, peated smoke, dark chocolate, and whiskey, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. A bit OTT

Bottle @ Erlings, Aarhus .Pours black with a small brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, wet wood, oak, heavy peat, smoke, little dried fruit, some strange medicine or iodine notes. Flavor is sweet and heavy peated, roast malt, little chocolate, wood, oak, little fruit, licorice, whisky, alcohol. Medium to full body, average carbonation, sweet peated finish with a warming alcohol. Pretty nice, shame with the strange notes in the aroma. 160319
