    Shared this with my buddy Matt. And I'm glad I did, for as great as this beer is, it is quite rich. Almost overbearing. Very smoky, a little peaty. Disguises abv very well. Almost no finish, except a whiskey feel on the tongue. Very unique and complex mouthfeel. Smotth like butter.

    Bottle: Poured a deep black color stout with a small bubbly head with limited retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is dominated by peat smoked malt which I did enjoyed. Taste is also dominated by loads of peat smoke malt which are very tasty. I never had an imperial stout with so much smoke notes before. Roasted malt and black chocolate do take a back seat in this one. Average body with low carbonation and no alcohol was apparent. Very well done and interesting take on the style.

    NorCal December '07 - First, I owe a HUGE thank you to oh6gdx for sending me this thing of beauty. Incredible beer. I think that sums it up for me. Incredible. Okay, so fantastic will also work. Perhaps incredibly fantastic? Sounds good.

    An aroma of the smoke, whiskey, light cocoa notes, vanilla, anise and wood. Appearance is dark mahogany in color, very still in the pour with barely any head action at all. Smooth and supple mouthfeel. No harshness at all. Liquid velvet on the tongue. Flavors didn't stray too far from the aroma notes. Smoke, whiskey, vanilla, wood, and subtle cocoa nibs. The finish is fantastic on this beer as the smokey irish whiskey flavor really lingers. Loved this beer.

    330 ml bottle, at the Bon Accord, Glasgow. Black colour, ruby in the highlights. Large and lasting creamy head. Very strong aroma of tar and peat. Extremely peaty and tarry flavour, just too much of the good stuff.

    Dark brown colour, amost black, with a big mediumsized creamy beige head. A lot of Islay smoked hints in the aroma along with the allround whiskyishness. Flavour is quite the same with some vanilla, dark chocolate, roasted malts and slight bittery notes. Truely an amazing Imperial Stout. Guess I’m a lucky punk still having a bottle of it in my cellar... Damned near perfection!
