Bottled. A pitch black beer with a lazing dark brown head. The aroma has notes of iodine, roasted malt, whiskey, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of whiskeyy, iodine, and roasted malt, leading to a dry roasted finish.

Bottle at Pat’s Birthday Tasting at Chriso’s, London. Pours thick brown with a beige foam head. Pungent Laphroaig whisky aroma. Very sweet flavor with pleasant wood and hard alcohol, faint roast and cocoa, some peat. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming to finish with big peat, burnt wood. For what it is, quite alright. You have to enjoy peat to like this beer.

Bottle at my Pre-CBC Tune-Up Tasting. It pours very dark brown, with a thin light tan head. The nose is smoked peat, floral, hay, smoke, charcoal, varnish and a touch of cherry. The taste is roasted malt, strong Laphroaig character, hay, floral, peat, smoke, chocolate, caramel and liquorice, with a dry, warming finish. Full body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. The beer is pretty dominated by the Whisky, but still enjoyable enough.

Jet black with a decent, tan head. Some sweet malts and a massive Laphroaig hit - too powerful for me as the whisky was to the fore rather than the beer.

ChrisOs Early December Tasting. Semi opaque dark brown beer, tiny tan head. Dry palate. Dark malt totally dominated by rubbery Laphroaig. Dry finish. Okay if you like Laphroaig but for me it really dominated all else, too much so.

Bottle 500ml. @ chriso [ oh6gdx birthday bash tasting ].Clear dark red brown colour with a small to average, frothy and open, good lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is light heavy malty, roasted, chocolate malt, medicine - smoke - whisky. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. IMO to much peaty whisky ;O) [20111203]
