Bottle at BBT feb 2025. Full body, light carbo. High sweetness, high bitterness too, light boziness. Lots of chocolate, but mainly med-high Islay whisky character, combined with moderate molasses. Could use a bit more complexity, but nevermind, it is quite tasty and good.

From tap at Borefts 2017. Aroma is smooth whiskey, oak, caramel, chocolate, light peat, bit syrupy with molasses. Big sweet flavour and some warming booze. Body is full. Infinitely better than the base beer, for me at least.

Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde (?). Jet black, small, beige head. Intense aroma of peat, tobacco, charcoal, chocolate sauce, soy sauce, dried fig, prune, black olive, peated whisky. Taste has very sweet candied date, fig, prune & vague banana wrapped in a thick malt body of fondant, dark fudge & even maple somewhere, balanced by a decent amount of salty soy and peat too. Herbal & slightly peppery hoppy finish, touch of salty liquorice, dried fruits; but dominant still is the earthy peat & tobacco and the warming peated whisky alcohol. Full body, oily-sticky texture, soft carbonation. Overwhelming peat profile, but still showing sufficient depth.

Bottled@Little Pub, Vaasa. Pitch black colour, small brown head. Aroma is liquorice, mild peated notes, some toffee, sweet malts and ripe fruits. Flavour is rather smooth of liquorice, alcohol, ripe fruits, some peated notes as well as toffee and some nutty notes. Pleasant and good sipper, which still goes down the throat surprisingly quick.

Sur une base trop sucrée, plutôt bien faite à priori, le whisky est beaucoup trop présent sur ce Pime Öö. C'est certain cet Imperial Stout envoie, ce qui me fait dire qu'elle plaira aux Geeks. De mon côté, j'aurais apprécié davantage de justesse et de finesse. En verre, nous sommes sur un noir total sans mousse et une très faible effervescence. Le nez est très joli et racé sur le café, le chocolat, la vanille, le caramel et l'Islay qui amène de surcroit de belles notes fumées et tourbées. En bouche ça envoie du lourd, avec une belle corpulence et une excellente longueur et avec une belle texture. Malheureusement, même si l'alcool, pourtant avec 14 % n'est pas agressif, l'Islay prend beaucoup trop d'importance. La sucrosité est également trop poussée même si elle permet de compenser le titrage alcoolique. Too much.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Black, no head. Huge peaty Laphroaig aroma. Super sweet with full to massive body and rounded, somewhat viscous mouthfeel. Extremely sweet with molasses. The excessive sweetness causes inky, taste bud distorting sensations. The only good thing about it is the Laphroaig.
