Jet black pour and a tiny beige head. Aroma is huge on the scotch. Lots of smoke, peat, vanilla, oak, And loads and loads of Scotch. I’m floored at how much the Scotch has permeated this beer. I love it. The amazing aroma of scotch minus the huge booze punch. The barrel ageing also jnstilled a great oak and vanilla flavor. This is exquisite! This is one of the best barrell aged beers I’ve ever had!

Jet black pour, huge aroma of oak, vanilla, and some light custard/fruitness. Flavor is very roasty and laced with burnt malt and coffee. The finish is lightly bitter with coffee notes.

looks like a stout it’s so black. Like the 12, there is an aroma of soy sauce, and teriyaki beer jerky, but it’s not as prominent. There is much more oak, and smoke, and some charred wood in the aroma. The aroma in this one is much more complex. The flavor is also more complex. Lots of woody notes, some char, and smoke, and a touch of the beer jerky. The alcohol seems to be more upfront also, i’m getting some alcohol burn that i didnt get in the 12. I think i prefer this one, but not by much.

Wow, very interesting aroma. Lots of soy sauce, and teriyaki beer jerky, with a touch of bitter chocolate, and a hint of smoke. Flavor is smokey, i can taste te whisky, there is some notes of peat, and wood. MOre teriyaki in the finish. Quite interesting. I"M really curious to see how the 16 turns out.

nic golden/amber color. very small white head that disipates quickly. Nice aroma of english hops, and citrus. Flavour is very very nice, loats of hops the goldings really come through, and i can really tatse that lemon twist. The hops in this beer are done perfectly, an immensely drinkable, and enjoyable beer. I can’t get enough of that citrus grapefruit hops punch in the flavour. Love it!

330ml bottle from the LCBO.
black pour with a small beige head. Aroma is very roasy, and smokey with a touch of soy sauce. Flavour is very roasty, and a touch bitter with a very creamy mouthfeel, the soy sauce flavour is still there, but not a prevalent. A very nice beer, kinda like a cross between a porter, and a very roasty oatmeal stout.

thanks to dsnowden for this gem!
pour pitch black, really no surprise there, small light brown head that doesnt last long. Aroma is VERY roasty, lots of malt, and hickory smoke, and i’m getting a bit of soy sauce. FLavour is again, big on roasted malt, and a big smoky note in the finish, almost sausage like. A nice lingering bitterness in the finish also. SUper nice beer!

Dark brown. No head, of course. Smells like that rich umami creosote sort of dark malt tamari. Big whiskey on that, too. I mean, Highland Park, that's nice stuff. The body is light, maybe a bit of papery note because it is quite old. I'm guessing it's past its prime, but there still some cool elements here, especially the bit of dark malt and the substantial whisky accent.
