Ola Dubh 40 (8.0%) Serving temperature- room temp
Glass type- cognac snifter Beer style- Scottish brown ale
Colour- Deep chestnut
Head- velvety and long lasting, ight beige in colour.
Aroma- Malt and dark fruit, with a noticeable smokiness from the oak. Strong whiskey notes complimented by a gentle chocolate.
It is unexpectedly smooth with a deceptively light mouth feel given its similar appearance to a stout. It is slightly nutty generous in chocolate and roasted malts. Through maturation in the oak cask it developed a nice complexity, along with strong whiskey notes. Deep caramel and oak to finish.
