Keg at Beaverfest. The aroma rreally hits like standy in smoke from a BBQ. The booze also comes throughalongside some caramel sweetness. Hlossy jet black. Bubbly beige head. The taste is then far more subtle than I was expecting. Reminds me of a Finish salt liqourice tar sweet, with added burnt caramel. Thico bodied. Sticky and cramy. Flat carb. Long slightly astringent finish. Cannot descrobe how great this is. Got a 100ml pour and still about 75ml left. It's already blown me away.

Bottle, batch 484 (from UJH). Ftw this has one of the most horrible waxes ever really hard to remove, -5 to overall. Pours black with brownish head. Aroma is peaty, chocolate roast, sweetness. Flavor is really sweet, bitter, peat, roast, chocolate, coffee, malt. Finish is chocolate bitter. Overall: good, but way too sweet.

On tap at Speakeasy, Tallinn. Looks like used motor oil, but smells like Islay whisky. Small beige head. Nice peaty, mild smoky aroma with roasted malt, dark chocolate and notes of dark fruits, wood and vanilla. The influence from the Laphroaig barrels are fairly obvious. Milder flavours altogether than I expected, in a way it’s surprisingly smooth. Lovely, desserty sipper. 2017.11.02. - tap at Speakeasy again. Damn, it's a lot if whisky in the aroma. Peaty and grainy and it feels young, it actually reminds me of newmake. Certainly delicious!
