A superbly balanced beer golden in appearance with peaty smoky aromas and smooth whisky flavours from peated malt. With a measure of English Whisky from St. George’s Distillery in Norfolk, it is rich in flavour and a superb after dinner drink.

Ein Bier, das seinem Namen alle Ehre macht: gereift im Whiskey-Fass und daher mit einer dementsprechenden Note, welche schon ins holzige geht. Intesive Malz- und Fruchtaromen. Mir persönlich ist es etwas zu brutal, aber Freunde von solchen Bieren werden ihre Freude haben.

A pale tired amber ale with a thin big bubbled off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light peated notes, light grassy hops, light mineral notes, pleasant. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with loads of bacon, peat whiskey, light treacle, still solid after 4 years.

Pours a bit hazy amber colour, topped with medium sized, foamy tan head. Quite some smoky bacon presence, slight wood but mostly smoke. Smoky taste, medium bitterness. Quite herbal. Medium light body. Too strong on the smoke. Don't like it.

Bottle at KØ18. Malty aroma, not much whiskey, I guess. Shiny dark copper colour. Small white head. The flavour is also malty. Low bitterness. Watery finish, slightly buttery. A little smoke in the finish. Well-balanced but a bit weak.

Bottle from Mitra Baarn, dont know why I bought this. A peated bitter or golden ale, classified as a Scotch? Sounds even more silly. Clear golden orange color, short frothy head. Aroma has toasted malts like most English bitters, some peated notes as expected and slight flowery and herbal hop. Soft herbal bitterness, touch of peat and toast. Typical cask feel to a bottled English beer. Well, I expected even worse, but its not even that bad. --- Beer merged from original tick of The Saints Whisky Beer on 01 Dec 2017 at 19:14 - Score: 6

Bottle sample @ De Prins, Rhenoy tasting with Sussanne and Gijs. Clear dark yellow with a white head. Malty, smokey, bready aroma. Sweet taste with some peat from the whisky. Thin body with low carbonation. Watery finish with some ash. Not that exciting.

Bottle at home. I’ve always loved the St Peters bottles with their great shape and heft in the hand. Anyway, the beer poured well into the tankard and tasted pretty good too. I have to admit that to me there was no discernible taste of whisky, but there was a level of oakiness lurking in the palate. This was a solid best bitter and I did enjoy drinking it, but not one to seek out again. And I really didn’t taste the whisky.
