Whisky – Rauchmalz – Bier! Lässt den Whisky erahnen der aus diesem über getrockneten Gras geräucherten Malz aus Belgien gebraut wird. Nach kurzer Zeit stellt sich die für Rauchmalzbiere bekannte geschmackliche Gewöhnung ein.

330 ml bottle from 2013.
Amber, hazy body, with a big, frothy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma mainly of strong rubber and peat.
Tastes of smoke, peat, rubber, caramel, some dried fruits, some grass.
Medium mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes smokey, peaty, a bit sweet malty.
Not my cup of tea. I don’t like the nose at all, pretty bad. Taste is a bit better, with some more other notes. Overall not a beer I can finish or would drink again.

330ml bottle at home shared by Saeglopur, many thanks. Vintage 2013. According to bottle 6.8 ABV. BB 10/2015. orange hazy color, small off-white head. smells of smoke, peat, leather, rubber, very very light malty roast notes. too strong peat notes, not my thing. medium to full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of peat, rubber, citric notes, light smoke, some fruit notes in the background. finishes with peat and rubber. Rather extreme this one, others would call it unbalanced. Would need a lot more body for the strong peat notes. Interesting but does not drink too well.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. First the Hill Farmstead now this….. wow you really are spoiling us! It pours hazy golden yellow, with a thin white head. The nose is smoke, grainy, honey roast ham and TCP...an odd mix indeed. The taste is citrus, ham, smoke, underlying sweetness, light ketchup, honey, warming alcohol and medicinal notes. Medium body and fine carbonation. An interesting meaty brew....but doesn’t work very well.

Bottle at the Mini Tasting, London. Pours faintly hazy gold with a light, white foam head. Nose is a bit off-putting, some mild tangy malts, subtle ham. Medium sweet flavor, some lightly toasty malts, some mellow ham, faint berries. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly sweet to finish, light ham, subtly tangy malts. A touch thin, though still a lot of interesting stuff going on. Doesn’t completely work, but OK.

Bottled 330ml. -Hazy yellow/golden coloured, small white head, strong unpleasant and stinky sauerkraut nose. No trace of smoke anywhere in the nose. Interesting, the taste is totally different; moderate malty with light smokey ham and some subdued hops. All in all quite messy beer.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado who found it at the brewpub (thanks!)Poured a hazy golden body with a thick white head. Stinky yeasty, bit malty nose with nice light notes of ham. Nice smokey ham in the taste, light, but the stale yeastiness strikes again. There’s a light, slightly lemony and herbal hop too. Yup, a flawed experiment, but at a brewery that had many impressive ones, and actually experiments in a good way, so it doesn’t really matter.
