Keg@ Port St. From notes. Nose is sweet treacle. Taste is vegetative, treacle. The whiskey barrel is prominent leading to a smokey and very sweet finish with leather undercut with menthol. The mouthfeel is thick. Interesting beer that makes good use of the barrels, but was ultimately a bit rich for me.

Draught at Mikkeller Bar, Viktoriagade
Pitch black color with small collar of brown foam. Roasted malt aroma with some peat. The mouthfeel is smoother than the red wine/cranberry version. Roasted malt flavor. In this version the chocolate is more evident; also the alcohol is more evident; food peat and iodine character, correct bitterness; lightly salty.
Definitively the Islay is adding something to this beer, better than the red wine/cranberry, and not exactly sure what to do about the role of the bourbon.
