MAD SCIENTIST BARREL PROJECT
Islay Whisky Barrel Aged Imperial Porter with Chocolate Habanero, Cocoa & Ginger
CELLAR MASTER NOTES
The thinner body of the base baltic porter leaves more space for the teamplay of the additions and the barrel. The spicy freshness of the ginger is rounded off by the fruity notes of the habanero. We have supported the earthiness and smokiness of the habanero chili with cocoa and the barrel ageing.

Tap at MadFest III, thanks to the MS crew for this one. Deep chocolate brown pour, thin off white head. Nose is low booze, spicy touch, faint ginger, some sweet malts. Taste is rather spicy, the ginger and the chili are there, but nothigng much more, perhaps a faint woody touch from the barrels and just a light smoky undertone on top of the sweet booze. Soft carbo, light body.
