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.

Intensiver Whiskeymalzgeruch. Im Antrunk dann ebenfalls Whiskeymalz, dabei herrlich weich, dennoch wird die Würzigkeit zum Endestärker, das Beir deutlich rauchig. Nebenbei eher wenig bitter, holzig-süß. 11/13/12/13/12/12

Bottle, probably from The Davis Beer Shoppe. #2357, 27 June 2011. Pours very dark brown with a few beige bubbles. Aroma of peat/smoke/alcohol. Full bodied. Quite peaty, but not nearly so smokey/burnt as scotch. Irish whiskey is the thing. Trust me on that. (Connemara whiskey barrels). Beautiful ale.

Bottle shared at RBWG 2012. Pours a dark amber with beige head that quickly diminishes. The aroma is smoke and peat. Thick mouthfeel with a strong scotch whiskey flavor. Alcohol very overpowering, a decent Belgian strong ale.

Cloudy brown colour with thin lacy head. Toasted malts and a little smoke. Good balance of the sweetness with a slight bitterness coming through at the end. Very silky and smooth texture.

Small brown head. Deep red barely translucent body with carbonation. Chocolatey earthy aroma with whisky, fruit and perfume notes. Dry-sweet chocolatey smoky whisky taste with earthy tar notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, faintly hot mouthfeel. Dry smoky chocolatey licorice aftertaste with syrupy notes. Lingering tarry peaty flavour. Nice, but a bit cellary and musty. (0.65l bottle, Fish & Beer, Copenhagen.)

66cl bottle, #408, bottled 27/6/2011 Ambrée, cuivre, col crémeux beige laissant un filament doré sur le verre. Arôme tourbe, cendre avec un bouquet léger de whisky, malt grillé et caramel avec une pointe de fumé. Bière au profile tourbe/cendre restant modéré et agréable. Malt cara/grillé laissant un aspect liquoreux/collant sur les lèvres. Sec avec une pointe de houblon donnant une très fine amertume fleuri. Tout comme l’arôme, je note une fine note de malt fumé. Très agréable le côté cendre qui prend le dessus.

Bottled. Hazy mahogany colur, small creamy head. Peaty fruit whisky aroma. Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Some marzipan hides behind the rich curtains of fruity whisky. Finishising mildly peppery with low bitterness. An elegant sipper.
