Smak och doft av trä, whiskey, karamell, honung, torkad frukt och en aning rök. Väldigt god, alkoholen döljs väl med de andra smakerna men det saknas kropp och fyllighet.

Flaska från SB. Kopparfärgad, inget skum. Lätt rökig och träig whiskeydoft, apelsin, caramel och fruktig lowland whiskey. Kroppen är förvånande lätt och alkoholen välgömd, har svårt att tro att den är 9,3%. Söta maltsmaker, liten rökighet, torkad frukt, honung, karamell. Känns ändå lite platt och smakerna saknar fyllighet. Okej men liten besvikelse.

Dark brown color, almost black; it has a very low carbonation, and therefore the head is small, creamy, of which only a few bubbles persist. The aroma is mild but interesting, with a balanced blend of caramel, treacle, malt, roasted malt, a hint of firewood and dark chocolate.
It’s full bodied, and round, thanks to the low carbonation too; it’s defined by the brewer as "Scottish Barley Wine", but it’s not as sweet and rich as a Barley Wine; it has a quite good flavor of dark caramel with light smoke; the bitterness is relatively low, and the final rather short.
Good, but it lacks of depth, that could acquire with just a bit more of bitterness or malt.
