pours a clear brown with a small tan head, and little to no lacing.
smell is of wild yeast, a little cocoa, and dark fruit.
taste is slightly sour, dark fruit, some chocolate in the back, malt, and salmon berry, ends a little on the tart side.
overall a very different imperial stout.

Paradox Islay Batch 09 pours brilliant deep dark brown with a thin tan film of a cap. This beer has legs instead of lace. It smells like Ardbeg – briney, seaweedy, medicinal, peaty, and smoky over a coffee chocolate malt background. There is a wonderful marriage between the rich malt flavors and the scotch that place this near the twilight zone between scotch and beer. It has a big, bold alcoholic body with a touch of heat and below average carbonation. It is a shame that this is no longer brewed.

2007 Vintage Peat leads to late chocolate and coffee. The peat lingers afterward. This is nice for Scotch lovers.
