Bottle. It's a black one, with a minimal sized dark beige head. No lacing, quite oily. The aroma has a very nice peated touch, with roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate, licorice and some charcoal. Some vanilla and brown sugar. It's full-bodied, warming and smooth on the palate, sugary, with roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate notes and a touch of licorice. Some dark dried fruits and a touch of peat. Lasting peated, sweet finish with lots of other dark flavors. Delicious. 210603

Small russet-cream head over black beer. -1 point off for the wax, even if I had not to pluck it off myself. Islay whisky to the fore; phenols, tarr, lots of roast. Sweet, smoked malts and mild to good roast. Sweet charcoal, if that makes any sense. Phenols are less intrusive than the nose suggested. Some black chocolate backthroat. Ridiculously full bodied despite alcoholthinning and furious alcoholheat. Another great version of the Pime. Excellent.

pitch black colour, half inch of dense brown head; aroma of soy sauce, whisky, peat, burnt sugar syrup, vanilla, some chocolate and roasted nutty notes; taste is quite syrupy with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma, as well as intensivve spicy aftertaste; great one

Keg at the Beavertown Extravaganza, day two, 09/09/2017. An oily dark jet black coloured pour with a dark tan head. Aroma is agressive isaly peaty malts, salty, big phenol, tcp. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, big black malts, smokey bacon, medicinal. Palate is thick and chewy, moderate carbonation. Aggressive stuff.

Too peated and smokey for me. Reminds me of my early youth and misadventures with whiskey! ?
