Bottled. Hazy deep golden, airy head. Intriguing smokey malt aroma. Sweet and very peaty with dense mouthfeel. Most certainly with lots of islay whisky character. Peat and smoke dominates. I sense no hops, so the smoke lingers also in the finish and only have to battle the malt sweetness for attention. An interesting experiment.

Bottle from someone at the Burgundian Babblebelt meeting at White Horse, Parson’s Green. Whisky copper colour, slight haze. No head. Aroma of malt whisky. Iodine, peaty malt. Some creamy toffee and then medicinal iodine finish. Orange whisky aroma. It is like an Islay whisky. Pretty intense. Good whisky alcohol burn.

No head, clear orange, still beer. Fully tarry, leather grease, and indeed, watered-down Islay Uisce Beatha. Sweet with then smoked malt whisky, just not as alcoholic. No bitterness. It gives a watery MF - which it hasn’t - because one starts comparing it to whisky, rather than to beer... Very interesting. Still, I think I prefer it distilled.
