August Meeting

Is it the idea the whiskey flavour will eventually diminish to just a hint to be replaced by oaky?
First taste was 2 months ago? Then again just now? Next taste another 2-3 months? Mid to end November?

  If it's ready for Christmas that'd be great but don't want to rush it at expense of perfection.  It does seem like a Christmas drink tho, can't really see any opportunity to drink a 10%stout other than those lazy nothing days over the Christmas!

Thanks for feedback lads we think based on numerous commercial samples we have had it should be ris complex profile, followed by oak and finishing with smooth whiskey on the end.
we were think Christmas alright, 2015!
Have a control so we will see how it develops.

The taste I had was absoluteness gorgeous. Loads of dark and smokey malt. Deep body. Warmed by the whiskey. No oak I could discern, I can only imagine how good it'll be in a year.
