Bottle shared at DOS tasting. Pours murky brown with no head. Aroma of ammonia, can’t get past that. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle at the Dirty Old Socks Tasting, Den Haag, December 2014. Poured a murky dark brown witn a round bubbly white head. The aroma is very medicinal, vinous, oak. The flavour is moderate bitter with a malty medicinal dry alcoholic bitter palate. This is so hard to rate, but I’m not keen!

Thank you tderoeck! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ “The Tasting formerly known as Mons RBBAG I (2014)”. Aged for 13 days, lol. Oily dark brown amber. Nose is strongly boozy peat, oily with some sugar in the back. Medicinal peat taste, herbal, oily dull cough syrup, boozy finish, brown sugar, cough syrup. Low carbonation. Tastes like peated whisky diluted with cough syrup, no depth, no complexity, this is not terrible but to be honest, I do not understand this kinds of beers at all.

Small yellowish rim, dark brown beer with rusty-red highlights. Surprisingly fruity nose, red fruit, then outspoken phenolic Islay aromas. Again surprisingly sweet, fruity -again- and then Islay onslaught, making it dry and even very slightly astringent. Sweetness keeps hanging around, yet never disturbing. Bit mineral, liqueurish and vinous. Alcoholwarming², very oily-slick, bit sticky MF even. Long-lasting warm liqueurish flavours. Excellent - Olivier or Bubberman wouldn’t do it any better.

Bottle @ the brewery. Dark brown colour, beige foam. Soft carbonation. Malty body. Aroma of roasted malts, dark fruit, some brown sugar and peated whisky. Well balanced. Medium sweet with bitter and smoky finish. Good!

--- Rerate after some assumed mistakes in the original revieuw --- @ Zomerbierfestival 14 . Pours almost black . No foam . Smell is pure peat , so is the taste. Perhaps it is just me and my dislike of peat, but really, I could not taste any sign of the basebeer here . I can understand that a person who loves peat, will very much enjoy this beer ( good moutheel of beer , More easy drinkable and less ABV than the whisky on its own etc ) but in my opinion, balance is very lost . Compared to a Black mes by struise , for instance . Perhaps this beer deserves a full re-rate , after having tasted it again outside of a festival , and less fresh ( As I remember, this was so freshly removed from the barrel , it did not even have a label ) Maybe that had to do something with the balance being so gone ??? Keeping the original score for now, since I’m not re-tasting it ATM .
