Bottle. Black pour. Aroma of smoke, peated whisky, chocolate, licorice, booze and molasses. Taste has chocolate, licorice, booze, peated whisky, smoke, molasses and a boozy finish. Bit rough and heavy on the bowmore. It's not very well made, but I like bowmore, so it's still enjoyable.

Bottle @ home. Black with a small light brown head. Smells sweet, some peat, roasty. Tastes roasty, quite sweet, some peat, some iron, some whisky. Not too bad. I wouldn't have guessed it's 13% abv. Medium to full body, nice carbo, slightly warming.

Bottle at home. Black with tan head. Big sweet deep roasted chocolate malts, very plain molasses based impy with a shot of bowmore. Boozy, sweet, sugary, salmiak, whisky, peaty, something moldy like truffles. Big sweet and moderate bitter. Full body and soft carbonation. I miss some complexity, but on the other hand could be worse.

Medium to huge yellow-tan head over pitch-black beer. Sweetish chocolate nose with a pinch of peat/smoked. Dry wood, lightly charred; toffee, green leaves, mocha, roasted paprika. Sweet taste but with immediate punch from peated malts, laced with alcohol. Again lots of chocolate, bit of mocha, chocolate toffees; finish quite sweet partially due to the alcohol. Well-bodied despite alcoholthinning; alcoholheat; smooth, viscous. Long lasting warm flavours. Good balance to the detriment of fireworks. IMO, Kees B used to go further. 7/4/8/4/15

Sample from bottle at Wijnhuis Ede bierproeverij april 13, 2018. Color: Black. Taste: Dark roasted malt, black coffee, the moderate sweet RIS is nicely balanced with clear notes of the Bowmore whiskey. Bit peaty and boozy. Nice one.
