Pleasant, with some bitterness

Delicious! Dark, rich, and smooth, with a wonderful aftertaste. Layered but relatively uncomplicated taste, closer to rum and raisins than to the browned banana of Belgian quads or the coffee & smoke of an Imperial stout. One of the best beers I've had.

It's very very boozy. A bit too sharp for me even though it has some nice vanilla, caramel and dried fruit notes, but the sharpness of the alcohol turns me a bit of (even though I like strong stouts)

Absolutely my favourite beer of all time. Smooth, dark, strong, tasty. Standard Dark Island is lovely but here they age it in Scotch whisky casks for a year after brewing and it emerges at 10%. The result is liquid smoke flowing over black velvet. Bliss.
