Bottle from the Hacklberg webshop. Had this in the company of Nick and Anna, Leverburgh, Isle of Harris, Wednesday 27th March 2024. Pours dark brown with a ruby glint, hardly any head. Subtle toasty and whisky led aroma. Taste is very good, the whisky integrates nicely into the Doppelbock base, some sweetness caramel also shows in the mouth, a little bit of toffee, thickness in the mouth, good. *Had to go back through my notes to find this, couldn't believe that I'd not added before now.

Bottle 2023. Thanks Fin! Dark brown, no head. Chocolate ganache, a bit smoke, chocolate, dry, burnt smoke, somewhat oxidized.

Bottle. Brown. Tar, wood. Sweet, flat, weird, could be better. Not much to say.

Bottle. Brown clear. Molasse, tobacco. Dry, front heavy, sweet and fizzy, thin.

Bottle. Rather clear brown color with almost no head. Aroma is peat, wood, caramel. Taste is the same, wood, earthy, mild peat. Surprisingly watery. Better than the rum barrel version, but not great either.

Bottle, thanks a lot Fin! Darkest brown, low head, brown to dark red shine. Dark smoked, metallic, honey, medium full, dry, iodine, roast, nutty, light molassis, a bit ash finish.

Bottle. Unclear brown color with no head. Aroma is big earthy, rum, dash of veggies. Taste is the same, veggies, iodine. Oily mouthfeel, low carbonation. Pretty meh.

Bottle picked up from Getränke Degenhart - Markt Plattling and consumed at home cooking Chicken and Chorizo Lasagna and listening to God is an Astronaut - Embers, Tuesday 1st October 2024. Pours gold, clear as a bell, white head, a little bit sweet, some cereal. Hoppiness is very, very subtle. Ok for the style but usual alcohol free taint is there albeit not too much.

Bottle picked up from Edeka, Passau and consumed at home Tuesday 10th September 2024 listening to Tom Ravenscroft and Deb Grant 'New Music Fix' on 6Music. We had 'Kurbis Von Carne' for tea. Pours clear gold with a large white head, pleasant soft mouthfeel, there's a little bit of a bitterness and bite. Mostly malt driven, good Festbier.
