3.9 Found this in the back of my beer cupboard, still full of berry sweetness , and boozy malt.

3.9 Bitch Please foam is poor and offers lots of fruity aroma. Strong fruity and winey taste the plum, raisin, peach, prunes and sweet sherry tones unite really nice. There is absolutely no hop track and it is a very elegant and delicate barley wine.

3.3 Bottle at home. Slight hazy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma heavy malty (caramel, wood, whiskey, smokey), hoppy (piney, fruity) and alcohol. Flavor quite sweet, alcohol, barrel, bitter, cloying. Almost full body, lots of alcohol..

4.0 330ml bottle. Hazy dark amber color with beige head. Aroma is malty, alcoholic, wood, whiskey, smoked, caramel, light hoppy. Sweet and bitter taste like aroma. Medium sticky body with soft carbonation.

2.9 Bottle, batch 96. The pour is a muddy hazel color, looks like river water. The aroma is off, can get the whiskey for sure, also get notes of charcoal. The taste is kinda harsh. Carries that charcoal aroma over to the taste which is not a good thing. Was expecting more.

3.6 330ml bottle, batch 096, dark amber-mahogany color, with a thick pillowy beige head, with an intense peated, toasted, caramelized, biscuity, bread malty nose, with some medicinal herb, Cepacol cough mouthwash, subtle toffee, french toast, Band-Aid accents, and a bran muffin, faint earthy herbal tobacco leaf, mint leaf, smoked peat moss, subtle sugar pie crust, Graham’s cracker note in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate, with a warmth good earthy smoked, peat, toasted, caramel, biscuity, bread, pale malty, faint medicinal herb, Cepacol cough mouthwash, toffee, french toast, light smoked peat moss, subtle mint leaf character, with some light caramelized breadcrumb, barley sugar, subtle flowery earthy tabacco, leafy, grassy hop, sugar pie flavours, leading towards a warming mild toasted, biscuity, caramelized, peated, smoked maltiness, medicinal herb, Cepacol throat mouthwash, toffeeish, lingering citrus, leafy, tobacco earthy hop bitterness finish.

3.4 slight beige head laves structured lacing. amber brown colour. aroma is phenolic, smoke, medicinal, thyme and boozy. taste like aroma, liquorice, salty with a slight wry aftertaste. medium body and carbonation. bottle 33cl

3.9 Big smoked peat nose with booziness detectable. Sweet toffee & caramel flavours with some spiciness. Heaps of earthy, roastiness mid palate, heavily dominated by boozy whisky flavours. Long boozy finish.

3.2 Bottle with Guinn and Pete at Guinn’s house. Pours a light brown golden with a thin off white head. Aroma is sweet candy, smokey peat, and some maltiness and a floral perfume. Weird. Flavor follows and is odd. Not very pleasant. Some alcohol. Not clearly beer flavors in this. Muddled. Too much going on. But interesting. Bottle picked up at Brewdog Bristol in the summer 2013.

2.4 Dark red body with a frothy beige head. Aroma is toffee, paper, slightly smoked.

3.6 Pours reddish brown brackish with a thin head. Smells like swamp water with a touch of scotch. First taste is bold and shocking to the palate. It's layered with malts, scotch, heavy peat and a long smoky finish. A weird one timer

3.6 Bottle at Jester King Zwanze Day. Brown pour with a white head. The aroma is full of oak and Scotch character. The favor is a mix of Scotch, peat, alcohol and toffee. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

3.9 Bottle at home. Pours dark red, sweet and fruity with a smoky finish. Interesting.

2.9 Láhev 330 ml. Aroma je velmi výrazné, je v něm znát spálený dub, uzené a alkohol. Pěna je světle hnědá, jemná, vysoká a držící. Barva samotného piva je rubínová a lehce kalná. Chuť je velmi sladově výrazná, má lehký dubový podklad s lehkým nádechem zkvašeného ovoce, celková chuť je rychle přebita výrazně palčivým alkoholovým finišem. V ústech pivo působí velmi robustně, není příliš jednotné, má slabší říz a je hůře pitelné. Jedná se o zajímavý počin, nicméně musím říct že jsem zklamaný, čekal jsem víc, lepší skladbu chuti, především.

3.3 "Scottish barley wine. Interesting. It had potential to be great. Loved the body. Smooth, full, not showing any heat. The combo of pleated malt and the whiskey barreling contributes to a too aggressive smokiness that covers many of the other aspects of the beer. One comment "smells like a house fire" was pretty close to accurate. A good beer that would have been great if the reigned it in a bit."

2.5 Pours a cloudy brown with little to no head. Very smokey smell, and sort of has the remnants of Peet on the palate...or could be just like accidently drinking a beer someone dropped a cigarette butt into. Either way smokey and not my favorite.

3.4 Bottle. Pours amber, with a creamy mocha heada. Aroma is sweet with roasted malts, kandi, plumas and dark fruits, as well as notes of oak and sweet hops with peach. Full body with average carbonation. Flavour is roasted malts with plums, dark fruits, kandi and oaken barrels, as well as some citrusy hops giving a grapefruity bitter finish.

2.8 Bottle shared by BVery - thanks!! Murky brown amber pour with no head. Boozy scotch peat and slightly malty nose. A little sweet in the taste then a ton of ash. Yuck. Pete! Pete!

3.4 Bottle via trade. Murky light brown pour with a small head. Nose is peat whiskey. Medium mouthfeel. Some caramel sweetness and fudge. I was hoping for more out of this. Not bad though.

4.0 Color bruno-marrone leggermente torbido con un velo di pannosa schiuma beige. Al naso dominano sentori fumosi e legnosi su una base di malto, caramello e frutta secca; gusto mediamente dolce e affumicato con note di whisky, cenere, malto abbrustolito ed un finale delicatamente luppolato e nocciolato. Corpo pieno e rotondo, effervescenza debole, oleosa, finale un po’ corto.

3.4 Bottle shared by alexsdad06 pours dark copper. Nose peated malt, earthy, slight smoky, and some dirty feet. Taste big smoky peat up front, caramel malt, some oak tannin. Some alcohol in the early finish and peat on the end.

2.0 21.05.2014, 0,33l bottle @ BBGTC tasting: Small slightly bubbly shortlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet and peated, caramel malts, grass, peat, old hops, oak, alcohol, dark sugar, thinner. Taste is medical harsh, peat, ashes, oak, alcohol, harsh grass, cardboard, ashtray. Longlasting bitterness, very dry harsh mouthfeel. Meh!

3.0 Pours a clear light brown with a small head. Aroma is hefty peat, soapy, malts and caramel. Taste is dominated by smoke/peat with some alcohol and sweet malts. Full body, slick mouthfeel and soft co2.

3.9 Bottle BB Mar 2015 at 11.5%, aged in Jura. Had it with haggis to complete the Scottish theme. Murky dark red / brown, gently sparkling, dense beige head endures. Aroma - caramel, peated whisky, over-ripe orange, dark chocolate. Quite nice. Body - medium, low carbonation, slightly foamy in the mouth. Taste - smokey whisky up front, just slightly sweet, rounded malts, touch of alcohol. Long, dry, ashy aftertaste. A bit one-dimensional, but tasty. They needn’t have put shortbread, candyfloss and fudge in, as none of this comes out.

3.6 Will have to try this again as the first time I really liked it, had it a few times since and not enjoyed it. Almost opaque chestnut amber with a pale brown medium head. Aroma fudge, peat, whiskey, butter. Flavour wood, malts, whiskey. My fucking boiler has gone again so it’s freezing here, something warming was the just the ticket at that point. Since, I’m not so sure about this beer.

2.6 Backlog, tried at a Brewdog tasting. Bottle from Systembolaget. Smoke and sweetness? Thanks but, no thanks.

3.3 Bottle. Dark brown body, small white head, low carbonation. Aroma of caramel, light peated malt, red fruit and alcohol. Taste is again light smokye with herbs, caramel and a slightly acidic finish. Ends with a boozy alcohol taste. A nice beer for sharing in smaller glasses.

3.5 From the old notes, so this is not a full rating more just a mark to myself that I have tried this one. About the beer: at the time thought it was decent, but not great.

2.1 pours brown , small white head smell is whiskey taste has peat ( to much peat for me ) some sweetness ( sugary, BW-typical in the back ) to peated for me , but i’ve had worse

3.4 Bottle - thanks barn0216! Pour is clear reddish chestnut, quite beautiful actually, small tan head that dissipates with some lacing. Aroma is very malty, bread, biscuit, dark sugars, caramel, toffee, peat, smoke. Interestingly, while the peaty scotch notes are an accent in the aroma, they take over the show in the mouth - smoky peaty scotch, lightly sweet, not much bitterness. The problem is that it is so one dimensional that in the end you are left with the feeling that you just drank a watered down glass of scotch. Not bad by any means, but not really satisfying as a beer.
