Bottle picked up at Kilchoman. It pours darkest brown with a quickly dissipating tan head. The aroma is rich roasted character, warming, smoked malt, peat reek, dark fruit, berry and charred wood. The taste is dry, sour dark fruits at the beginning, blueberry, blackberry, roasted malt, smoked action and prune with a drying finish. Light to medium body and fine to low carbonation. Better than the pale version. Fruity. A bit sour perhaps, but kind of OK.

Bottled picked up Kilchoman. It pours very lightly hazy golden with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is nice peat smoke upfront, fruity, citrus action, cereal, toasty grain, Kilchoman wash (tasted that earlier in the day!) and hay. The taste is pretty tangy upfront, sour even, orange citrus fruit, tangerine, kumquat, dry, bit of smoke, toasty grain and cereal. Medium body and fine to low carbonation. Does really smell like the kilchoman wash! Taste is a bit weird and sour though... Unusual for sure.

Aus der Flasche am 2016-05 im Seasalt Bistro (Port Ellen/Islay) warm serviert! Na super ein warmes Ale. Doch es hat immer noch ganz gut geschmeckt. 7-5-4-4-8 Aus Erfahrung noch aus 2010 ist diese Ale leicht getreidig und süßlich. Ein echt süffiges Ale wenn die Trinktemperatur stimmt.

Aus der Flasche am 2016-05 getrunken. Leicht getorte Gerste von der Kilchoman Destillerie mit leichter Waldfrucht trifft auf ein klassiches aber auch langweiliges Stout.

500ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Remaining pearl white head leaving spotty lacing behind. Bright amber coloured body. Earthy malts on the nose. Slightly perfumed malty flavours, hints of smoke and leather. Dry, very dry, ending. Drinkable, not too excited about this one. (Tromsø 24.05.2017).

Shared 500 ml bottle conditioned. ABV is 5.5%. Deep golden colour, white head. Sourish aroma of peat bog, hints of smoke. The flavour is also peaty, with fairly sharp bittering hops. Smoke and ashes in the aftertaste.
