Pitch black colour, beige foam dissapears quickly. Syrupy texture. Nose of peat, molasses, coffee, some fruitiness. Taste is very very sticky sweet, cloying, peaty finish. Unbalanced. What a mess.

Bottle from Beer Witch: pours black with small head. Aroma is the peaty smoke of a Scotch, soy sauce, roasted malts, maybe some dark chocolate. Taste is intense. Loads of whiskey notes. Umami is hard in this one. Booze is definitely noticeable, but in a manageable way. Powerful stuff.

0,33l bottle from Alko. Very dark brown, almost black beer with very small, quickly totally vanishing head. Aroma has peat, wood, ashes, malts and whisky. Flavor has sweet malty base with roasted malts, chocolate, berries, peat, wood, smoke and whisky. Overwhelming, bit too sweet. Medium+/full body.

looking forward to this one, i tasted the Öö with cognaq a lot when i bought a bunch of them at a discount, and they were really good. I prefer islay whiskey to cognaq any day so this might even be better for me. pitch dark, brown head. perfect smoked islay dominated aroma, apart from islay smoke, there is a lot of wood in general, hard roasted malts, sweet malts and salt licorice. This is one of the best aromas i ever rated, certanly the best barrel aged islay aroma. clean, complex, well blended. Most might find it unbalanced with too much peat, but i find it well balanced for the style. flavor is very sweet, alc. burn, the islay almost drowns in all that sweetness. reminds me in a way of the mikkeller black series that also sometime were way too sweet, compared to my preferences. Aroma is fantastic though. ignoring the sweetness, the beer tastes very well too, but ignoring the sweetness is hard.

YG 030621. Black color with a beige head. Aroma is peat, roasted malt. Flavor is peat, roasted malt, coffee, licorice, chocolate, vanilla, wood, brown sugar, dried fruits. Very nice beer.
