The beer poured a very dark brown colour with a long lasting light brown head. The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, vanilla, and nuts. The mouthfeel was full bodied, and creamy. The flavour was roasted malt, smoked wood, and hints of coffee. The whisky appears in the finish. I actually enjoyed this one more than the 16 year and 18 year versions.
