Bold yet remarkably smooth, this premium brew delivers a rich and rewarding experience from the very first sip.
Crafted with care and brewed to a robust 8.8% ABV, it opens with a velvety mouthfeel that glides effortlessly across the palate, revealing layers of subtle sweetness and warming depth.
At its heart lies a unique twist – a whisper of whisky character, gently infused through the use of authentic peated malt. This lends a soft smokiness and earthy complexity, reminiscent of a finely aged Scotch, without overpowering the beer’s clean finish.
Balanced, bold, and beautifully crafted, this is a beer for those who appreciate flavour with finesse – perfect for sipping, sharing, or savouring long into the evening.

Sample, thanks Robin Svensson! Clear pale golden, small head. Peppery nose with mild smoke and cooked vegetables. Sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Potatoes, peat, mild alcohol and notes of grass. Low bitterness.

29/4/2026. Can shared by Robin, cheers. Good pour. Aroma is malty, cardboard, rubber bands, peaty hints. Quite sweet, not harsh, boozy notes. Sweet caramel finish. Not too bad.
