Opaque dark brown - black beer with a good tan head. Palate is quite minerally crisp. Tangy dark malts and fruity whisky, touch of smoke. Mild whisky spice. Trace of coffee and dark chocolate before a crisp finish. Rich and light of palatd but overall too tangy to get me really going.

33cl bottle from Vino. Appearance - opaque black with a thin froth which disappears. Nose - slight liquorice but definitely Speyside barrels are the dominant aroma. Taste - strangely it seems dominated by the orangey note from the Speyside barrel. It’s too much really and there is only a hint of dark chocolate and coffee on the end. Palate - incredibly sweet but gnarly on the end too, so not very balanced. Overall - some benefit of doubt given in scoring because I wonder if the bottle is perhaps a little old.
