Würzig malziger Antrunk, angenehm, geringe Intensität gemessen am Alkohol und der Lagerung. Leicht röstig, wenig schokoladig, verhalten. OK aber nicht besonders. 10/10/10/11/10/10

Tap @ pre-ZBF 2010. Same background as the speyside Slight other whisky notes, less peat. More rounded and balanced.

Good dark-beige head over pitch-black beer. Rather sweetish stout nose; nuts and liquorice, coffee, mushrooms. Wood, liquorce, sweet coffee. Whisky comes out retronasal. Sweet hazelnuts finishing, and a whiff of mint. Alcoholwarming. Thick, velvety MF, but nowhere viscous. Quite balanced, but not really explosive with flavours. Discreet, bit sweet, good barrel-aged stout.

Bottled (from realale.com). Very deep reddish amber colour, small brown head. Aroma is roasted, smoked and some raisins and some toffeeish notes. Flavour is quite much the same. Interesting toffeeish, fruity and roasted aftertaste.
