A old favourite from around 10 years ago, seen on discount at Morrison's at £1.40. Great value for a superb easy to drink ale. Tastes of citrus & has a zingy end

Creamy off white with lots of lacing on a still black coloured body.
Malt, chocolate & whisky aroma.
Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with a cloying back.
Dark chocolate, raisin, toffee & whisky tastes with bitter finish.
Nice but not as smooth & rounded as the "16 Year Old" version.

Bottle.
A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, minimal head.
A- Malty, cocoa, roasty.
F- Roasty, cocoa, faint smoke.
T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish.
O- Hardly any barrel flavor other than added smoke but is that from smoking the malt or the barrel? Wish there was a lot more scotch influence in this and maybe a touch of sweetness. This tasted like a barrel aged Guinness.
