Bottle big thanks to Dan. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, oily, sappy, pine, spruce, caramel, toffee, grape fruit, spice and dirt. The taste is slick, oily, varnish, tangy, pine, spruce, rawness, spice, toffee, bit of market pen, sappy, cheap whisky and toffee crisp. Medium body and fine, oily carbonation. Meh.

Dark brown coloured body with a light cream head, only a centimetre or so tall. Aroma of whiskey and full alcohol aromas with a lot of pitted fruit, pure caramel, toffee and peated grain. Medium-bodied; Strong whiskey and grain flavour with a dose of roasted and toasted malt, oatmeal, grain, nuts and a little bit of toffee with some fruits and pears. Aftertaste shows a lot of alcohol, but hardly any body or malt complexity with some light caramelised sugars and a touch of bitter malt and earthiness near the end with some alcohol and finishing with the fruit and robust whiskey flavours, but still no depth and body. Overall, a pretty poor beer overall, and especially that of an Imperial Stout, but not worth trying to find or saving by any means, as this one doesn't seem to improve or have any prospect in keeping or gaining body - it's just going to get more thin. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from City'Super! in Times Square, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, SAR on 03-August-2017 for HK$54,00 sampled at home in Washington on the other side of the pond, a bit shy of a year after purchasing, while England play in the 2018 FIFA World Cup against Tunisia on 18-June-2018. Best By on the Bottle of 02/2019.

330 ml bottle, from the Norwegian importer. ABV is 8%. Black colour, low beige head. Moderate aroma of roast malts, smooth whisky, vanilla, mild coffee and chocolate. The roasty flavour is not too sweet, but has fairly distinct notes of smoke, whisky, vanilla, and coffee. Not bad at all, but my expectations were higher.

330 ml bottle, from the Norwegian importer. ABV is 8%. Deep golden to amber colour, moderate to small white head. Pleasant aroma of Speyside whisky, notes of caramel, toffee, vanilla and berries, hints of rye bread. The flavour has some sweetness, but not too much. Distinct whisky notes, but still well balanced, with the same elements as in the aroma. Moderate hops. .

330 ml bottle. Crystal clear Amber color, mild carbonation, a few bubbles. Aroma shows me mild oak, real weak whiskey, toffee. Flavor is a total refection of the aroma; mild toffee, earthy grain, and a very subtle oak finish. Very average body and slightly thin texture.
