2007 Var inget bra försök. Whiskey tjäran tog överhanden. 2008 däremot smakar mycket bättre. Här står ölet i centrum men man anar de karaktäristiska islaywhiskey tonerna i både doft och smak. Väl avvägt och mycket drickbart

Bottle. A clear, copper-colored beer topped by a minimal-sized off-white head. Vanilla, oak, some booze and peat on the nose. Peat and some caramel in the mouth, quite boozy alcohol too. Medium to full-bodied, and too warming to be really pleasant. Alcohol-burning peaty caramel flavor in the finish. I guess I would struggle if I were to drink a bottle on my own, it’s way to alcohol-focused. 090822

Bottle @ Danish Summer Gathering, 2009. Pours clear dark brown with a small white head. Roast, rye-bread and smoke in the nose. Medium to watery body. Peat smoke and very dry. Not as chewy malty as ex. schlenkerla. OK
