Bottle at home. Unclear red-brownish color, average sized beige head. Aroma is malts, lightly wood, red and black fruit notes, beautiful whisky aroma. Flavor is malts, again beautiful whisky flavors, distant smoke / peat notes, underneath some more of the red and black fruit hints, some wood notes and a bit boozy. Very pleasant and very well done this one. Great barrel aging.

Bottle at home. Very dark brown color, full sized off-white to beige head. Aroma is malts, dark malts, wholegrain bread. Flavor is malts, dark malts, dark raisins, earthy a bit, dried fruits, malt bitters, bitter. Lingering dark malt bitter. Very high carbonation, medium body. Hmm no, not a fan overall. Unbalanced.

Bottle at home. Brownish red color, average sized beige head. Aroma is malts, caramel, lightly leaves. Flavor is malts, brown malts, caramel, boozy, malt bitterness, light distant sweet touch in there, actually more than just distant but quickly overpowered by metallic malty bitters and distant raisins. A bit harsh but not too bad.

Bottle shared at Johnny's turns 30 ad hoc beer celebration. Opaque jet black color, small but beautiful dark brown colored lacing. Aroma and flavor are malts, very very sweet, over the top sweet, over the top just too much. Can't handle this. Might be me but you gotta be able to handle a huge load of sugar if you wanna drink this. Good luck, not for me.

Can shared at Johnny's turns 30 ad hoc beer celebration. Unclear a bit hazy yellow color with a bubbly rough white head. Aroma is head on citrus hops. Flavor is lightly malts, citrus hoppy, a bit in the sweet side with a slight citrusy bitter hint in the finish. Drinkable but boring, one dimensional.
