Semi opaque dark amber brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth light palate, modest fine carbonation. Mildly tangy malts, a little creamy caramel. Bouncy fruity whisky, smooth and tasty. Very mild spice. Just a bare whisper of something solvent like, really no issue. Ripe fruity whisky finish. Could do some damage here!

Bottle at home from De Bierkonig, bottled in 2015, consumed 13th May 18. Pours a chestnut colour. Aroma is boozy, dark fruit, liquor, barrel, caramel. Taste is sweet and dry, barrel, light whiskey, wood, caramel. Pretty tasty, and strong for sure.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark brown beer with a quite small, creamy beige head on top. Aroma has lots of sugars, boozy notes, with the whisky notes hidden a bit more in the background. Flavor returns much of the Bunnahabhain for sure, silky soft and smooth, touch of sweetness with a touch of smoke in the back. Silky mouthfeel, gentle carbonation and long sweet aftertaste. Nice one!

0.33 l bottle from ’drankgigant.nl’, bottled in March 2015, cellared for almost two years. Dark brown to black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly smoky and a bit fruity aroma of caramel, raisins, prunes, cherries, oak, tobacco and some peat. Rather sweet, malty, slightly yeasty, moderately smoky and a bit fruity taste of caramel, raisins, prunes, vanilla, peat, licorice root and some tobacco, followed by a long, moderately bitter, moderately peaty and very boozy, warming finish. Medium to full body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very complex stuff, smells really good, taste is a bit less especially because of all that booze.

Bottle. Bit overpowered with whisky (nice one though), it covers other flavours (some light caramel and toasted malts). Harsh alcohol in taste and with medium body - bit too watery in my opinion.

A: Deep brown coloured with a thin offwhite/light brown head N: Toffee, caramel and a small oakiness T: Caramel, toffee, booze, hint of ash and oak O: Surprised that I quite liked this one! Expected it to be more whisky forward, but really enjoyed it not to.
