4.4% bottle at the GJBF Osaka 2013. A classic smokey dark ale aroma with a light tan head on a beautiful dark brown body. The flavor is kind of generally smokey with no balance to it. Kind of average with a very bitter finish. Not really my thing, interesting but not my style. On the bitter side with a bit of smokiness.

Bottled. Nutty, roasty nose with soy, chocolate, light berry fruit, smoke. Black with a tan, lacy head. Dry minerally flavor, very little sweetness, light wheat. Bitter, dry, finish. Very interesting. Nose and taste quite different.

Bottle on the Calmac ferry to Islay. It pours black with a thick beige head. The nose is roasted malt, ash, earth, coffee grinds and a hint of smoke in the background. The taste is roasted malt, well-done toast, earth, pepper, liquorice, cola, tar and a tour of sourness with a crisp, dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Robust and well balanced. Islay Ales best beer most probably.

Bottle. Black with a solid tan head. Aroma is a bit thin. Flavour is where it’s at, whisky peat with a dry roast malt. Finish is a little ash on a dry roast.

Bottled, from The Scottish Real Ale Shop, Kilmahog. Black, firm head. Aroma of dark chocolate and coffee. Dryish with solid body and well rounded mouthfeel. Lightly peaty with lots of espresso and dark chocolate. Salmiak bitter finish. Tasty stuff!
