Delicious. Sweet, thick, syrupy treat of a beer. So many flavours here, with the whisky barrels having imparted just the right amount of goodness for me. Anniversary treat.

Lanre Abiwon: How sweet is this? Also sounds quite complex in terms of taste.

I stand corrected! This was the beer of the evening at uncle Gareth W. great big birthday bash. Complex, rich and warming. Dark fruits and spices entwined by the oak flavours from the whiskey barrels. Unbelievable stuff.

For a wee it’s above expectations but with that I wouldn’t have guessed wee heavy! Big barreling, smooth finish. More ageing?

I wish there was more classic style dark beers like this. Beautiful scotch flavor but not an overdose of smoke. Subtle and stylish. Great beer!
