Bottle. Black colored. Malt and licorice in the aroma. Hard to spot the Bunnahabhain. Malty sweet flavor with caramel, licorice and a hint of chocolate. Soft whisky notes, but i can’t spot any peat. Warming alcohol. Nice imperial stout, pleasant to drink, but not the best on the market.

Bottle @ PINT Winterbier 2015, small sample. Dark color, short frothy head. Aroma of soft peat, dark chocolate, roast, coffee, bit finger paint. Quite sweet and thick in flavor, some malty bitterness as well, not as dry from the peat. Peat is not overwhelming and the base beer is powerful enough to carry the BA. Surprised that this kind of stuff comes from De Pelgrim nowadays. Nice.

Sampled at PINT Winterbierfestival Gouda, 2015. Opaque pitch black color, medium sized dark brown head. Aroma is malts, roast, lovely whiskey influences. Taste malts, dark and roasted malts, whiskey, alcohol, a hint of sweet and nicely bitter. Full body, medium carbonation. Wow, I’m impressed. This is pretty damn good!
