Bottle from House of Trembling Madness. It pours darkest brown to black with a decent brown head. The aroma is rich, dark roasted malt, decadent, umami, liquorice, marmite on burnt toast, cacao nibs, woody, dark chocolate, charred oak, dull vanilla, pipe tobacco, bonfire and medicinal Islay action. The taste is slick, oily, bitter - sweet, chewy, toothy, dark roasted malt, tar, Islay whisky, burnt toast, rocky road, pipe tobacco, medicinal, vanilla, toasted marshmallow, cacao nibs, dark chocolate and warming booze with a dark roasted finish. Fullsome body and fine, prickly carbonation. Savoury and robust. Very De Struise. Lovely.
