Bottle thanks to Stuu.
Appearance - deep brown to black and opaque. Thin beige head.
Nose - faint iodine and wood barrel note but with not much of the expected Islay peat smoke.
Taste - saline again, and now some peat with chocolate and dry wood.
Palate - medium to full bodied, dry roast and woody finish.
Overall - good if not as smoky as expected.

Almost clear dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Smooth and fairly light palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light bodied dark malts, rich in flavour. Unsweet dark chocolate malts, a very mild dark malt cream. Good ripe fruity whiskey, mild spice. Airy and semi dry finish. Good ripe fruity whiskey vibe here but, lacks an overall cohesiveness for me.

The aroma is rich and intoxicating, plenty of dark and dried fruits, raisins, sultana, date, fig, heady notes of rum, rum soaked oak, cola cubes, plum wine, toasted brown sugar and molasses. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, toasted brown sugar, cola, Dr Pepper, molasses, cacao nibs, booze soaked dried fruits, toasted fruit cake, rum soaked oak, rum baba, malt loaf, earthy, pie crust, warming booze, burnt toast and a touch of liquorice with a drying, toothy finish. Medium - fullsome body and fine+ carbonation. Rum character works we.with the base biers.

Medium brown with minimal head. Prune/raisin, orange, caramel malt, hay and sherry aroma. Very sweet dried fruit (prune, fig, orange), sherry, caramel malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Nice body.
