Bottled. Deep brown colour with a small beigeish brown head. Aroma is fruity, some raisin, mild cocoa, roasted malts, alcohol and somewhat tart tones too. Flavour is chocolate, some mango, sugary, wooden tones with mild syrup and some tart tones too. Quite longlasting alcohol sweetness in the finish too.

Bottle, thanks Jonno. Aroma is whisky barrel, roast, dark fruit. Taste is interesting, roast, booze, dark fruit. Don't feel the booze, but doesn't give so much.

Pours brown, a bit yeasty and hazy because of that (I got the bottom of a bottle). Thin film forms on the beer after the pour. Aroma has some stingy alcohol, whisky barrel, some deep chocolate. Tobacco, strong alcohol. Burning. Nice and warm. Tobacco stays long, also there after initial kick. Body itself is lighter, maybe that explains that strong first sensation. Herbaliquor. Doesn’t carry itself as long as it could. Still good but hoped for a bit more.

Light brown color, big huge whisky nose with some milk chocolate. Very thin body, slight sour with tons of whiskey, with molasses, but honestly not too much depth. Not bad.

Bottled, thanks baggio! Dark brown, minimal beige head. Port, coffee and raisins up front. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Honey and brandy, wood and caramel. Warming honeyish finish. I preferred the Australian version.

Bottle. Hazy deep brown liquid with medium light brown head. Aroma of raw sugar, raisins, bread, biscuit, dried fruit and orange peel. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with notes of raw sugar, biscuit and caramel. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Nice.

[4/13] Bottle, 14C. Almost black with a light tan head that lasts OK. Had a little taster off keg at Slowbeer on a warm day a while back and could mainly smell whisky, but it’s back in the pack to some degree here (thankfully). Aroma of plums, blackberries, chocolate, (good) bread, vanilla, whisky, Palo Cortado. Very silky mouthfeel, low carbonation. Whisky and an overt alcohol presence in the mouth. Sweetish with blackberries, chocolate, licorice, plums, muscatels, white pepper. A fair bit of heat from the alcohol at the end. It’s the alcohol that’s the problem here for me: maybe it’ll settle down after a while or maybe there’s just too much whisky barrel. [3.8]Almost black, tan head is a rim and island then gone. Lots of lovely dried fruit and over-ripe berries, but still far too overtly boozy and whisky-dominated in the mouth for me. Aroma is great though.
