Capped 500 from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a slight transient dark tan head. Aroma suggests this A'sE barreling was not bourbon. Nor rye. Dark malt/dark fruit. Full bodied. Not dry, but nowhere near sticky. Heat stands in for bitterness, perhaps with some burnt malt. Flavor is "whiskey", dark malt, dark fruit and a touch of chocolate. Toss in heat as well. Some smoke appears. Nice stuff.

Capped 500 from Tavour. Pours dark brown with a large creamy tan head that didn't persist. Aroma is whiskey / toffee / date. Full bodied. Flavor is the aroma plus a nice level of heat. Not dry, but not sticky. Some oak astringency. Heavy duty and tasty ale.

Capped 500 from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a decent and persistent creamy dark tan head. Peat is the principal aroma. Dark/burnt malt second. Full body. Flavor is chocolate and peat. There's an agonizing/draining feeling as the liquid drains away. Not a bad thing - - maybe agonizing was over the top. Not dry. Not sticky. Burnt malt bitter. Very nice.

Capped 500 from Tavour. Pours semi-opaque dark brown with a slight but persistent tan head. Aroma of peat and malt. Full bodied. Flavor is nicely peat with some roasty/toasty malt in support. Not dry and barely avoiding sticky. Heat hardly noticeable. Extremely approachable for a peated ale. As RateBeer comes to a close, it's nice to put in an excellent ale.
