Bottle at home. Brown to red-brown color, virtually no head. Aroma is malts, wood barrel aging clearly. Flavor is malts, tart-ish wood notes, don't get bourbon tbh. Hmm no, this one seems not to have worked out so well imo.

Bottle at home. Opaque black color, medium sized tan to brown colored head. Aroma is malts, brown malts, don't get much more. Distant coffee maybe. Flavor is similar with a firm bitter finish. Lingering malt bitterness. Raw. Old school. Plain and simple. Good.

Bottle at home. A bit hazy pale golden color, white head. Aroma is malts, hops, quite fruity, ripe tropical fruit, mostly ripe oranges and ripe nectarines. Not bad at all. After a while though it becomes quite metallic, quite some iron. Hmm not as good as in the beginning. Decent to medium body, fairly soft though also a bit fizzy carbonation. Okay.

Bottle shared at tasting. Opaque brown to black color, average sized tan head. Smell and taste malts, dark malts, light peat initially, (Dutch) "wiebertjes", but than the peat flavors dominate heavily. Don't get much else. Meh.

Bottle shared at tasting. Opaque black color, small to average sized brown head. Aroma and flavor are malts, heavy peat, peated bitterness, light wmsweet hints in between oddly enough but bitterness in the end wins this battle. Hmm you know, I'm not a "peat-lover" at all, however, this is not bad. It's on the verge of being too much for me, but I think a lot of people will love this.

Bottle shared at tasting. Unclear brown color, red hue when held into the light. Average sized beige head. Aroma is a bit faint, light hints of pinot noir I'd say but probably because I've already read it on the label. Flavor is malts, wine-ish influence, pinot noir again I guess. Hard to describe but I really like it!

Bottle shared at tasting. Unclear brown color, medium sized rough soapy beige head. Aroma is wood and liquor with a little tartness. Flavor is lightly malts, wood, tart, liquor, lightly herbal, lightly boozy. Average to decent body, firm and a bit fizzy carbonation. Mwah.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Opaque dark brown to black color, huge full sized rough tan head. Aroma is malts, liquorice, liquor. Don't specifically get whisky though. Flavor is malts, liquorice again, dark malts lightly, whisky notes lightly so it really adds something. Very pleasant soft, velvety mouthfeel. I am really pleasantly surprised. Well made!
