Wrapped bottle, striped red paper with sticker "Peated whiskey cask" on the lower right end of the "logo" .
An 9% ABV beer in which the fermented sugars were all obtained from malt (20 degrees Plato).
A generous dose of hops and a long maturation time makes this beer best of the best.
This beer is bottle conditioned and will go through taste evolution during many years.
Selected by the brewer from his best peated whisky casks. Matured for a quarter of a year.
Winner of the Zythos Beer Festival (ZBF) consumer prize 2011.

Light brown, smells like huge peet and oak with a hint of blueberries. Taste is intense. HUGE smoked taste, lots of pettiness, some caramel wow. over the top intense but overall, still very drinkable.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with tan brown head. Nose and taste is peat, barbecued pork, smoked oak, whiskey, dark caramel, dark chocolate and peated malt. Flavors meld well and are strong but not overpowering. There is a nice subtle quality to the beer. Solid beer. Medium body.

Dark brown beer, good tan head. lactose nose with some medicinal tinged whisky. Softish palate, a little dry. Semi sweet orange cream supports mellow smoked whisky. Creamy and semi dry finish. The two disparate elements join up quite well in to a quaffable beer. Much better than the lain whisky version!

Bottle at a Chriso tasting, London - big thanks to Bruce. Pours a lightly hazy red-brown with a moderate, frothy cream head. Dry fruits and leather on the nose. Big sweet flavor with semi-dark fruits, light leathery fruits, brown sugar, some berries. Full bodied with average, creamy carbonation. Fairly warming to finish, with brown sugar, dried berries, toasty malts. Great balance, depthy character.
