Appearance - The beer poured a deep black color with a dark mocha head.
Smell - Tge nose had the smokiness of scotch with the absurdly sweet nose of Dark Lord.
Taste - Initially, there was a heavy scotch presense including those plasticy, peaty notes. What makes the profile unique is the sweetness of Dark Lord. The diabetical sweetness of the stout softness the edge of the scotch, making it moderately smokey. Of course, the sweetness lingered but with a scotch profile.
Mouthfeel - Any Dark Lord is visciously sticky and thick.
Overall - I am not sure I would seek it again. That said, I did not hate this beer nearly as much as I thought I would

L: Pours jet black.
S: Someone said it reminded them of burnt rubber. The Islay barrel really came through. I wonder how long it was aged to smell like this.
T: 3-4oz was enough. So potent, almost numbs your throat on the way down. All peat all day, no chocolate or molasses present here.
F: Thick as oil.
O: Definitely a a freak show beer that's worth the price of admission.
