BrewDog and Smokehead’s enthralling alliance creates a revolutionary beer with all the Atlantic smoke, encapsulating peat and intensity of flavour of an Islay malt Whisky.

Panda at home, big thanks to Fergus for unearthing this relic, 04/10/22. Light black with a moderate khaki cap that dissipates to edgework. Nose is light bonfire, dried fruit rinds, cocoa sprinkle, burnt brown sugars, peated malts, whisky tinged oak. Taste comprises smoked malts, fruit cake mix, spice, charr, dates, Islay notes, chocolate biscuit, prunes. Medium bodied with bite, moderate carbonation, light drying close with balanced peated whisky and alcohol. This has held up rather well ... could say matured based on the 3.60 score it presently garners.

Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk. Appearance - deep brown to black with a thin beige head. Nose - seaweed and woodsmoke. Perhaps an edge of molasses. Taste - molasses, seaweed and woodsmoke. Palate - medium to full bodied, with a roasty finish. Overall - the barrel completely dominates the underlying beer.
