Bottled. Amber colour with a small white head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is peat, some smoked wet wood, mild bready notes as well as some slight herbs. Flavour is peated malts, mild smoked wet wood, some alcohol as well as caramel and mild herbal and grassy notes to it. Smooth, and nicely bitter along with the smoked notes.

Außergewöhnlicher, intensiver Geruch: Rauch und Alkohol herrlich aromatisch kombiniert. Geschmacklich ist das abgeschwächter – wobei der Rauch noch am meisten Bestand hat. Erwähnenswert: Der typische Räucherspeckgeschmack anderer Rauchbiere ist nur in Nuancen vorhanden. Ansonsten Röstmalz, dunkle Beeren, krautige Noten. Schmeckt an manchen Stellen etwas medizinisch. Trotzdem erstaunlich lecker.

Bottle from Hausmann, drunk watching Alexandria battle the Dead. Slightly expired, but who's counting, it's a dark smoked beer anyway. Dark reddish amber with a small head. Smells like Laphroaig without the alcohol nose. Flavor is a smooth rounded beer tasting of heavily peated whisky malt. A bit sweet, moderate bitterness. Great for whisky lovers, I see them giving high 3's while non-whisky fans rate it down the river. Well made, as I don't notice any ill effects of it being 2 years over expiry.

Bottle picked up from a work colleague Denise, thank you Denise for this beer. Consumed at home Thursday 10th June 2021 listening to John Grant standing in for Gideon Coe and playing an amazing selection of tunes on 6Music. We had Chicken, Feta and Red Pepper Traybake for tea. We are now sat outside it's been a lovely day. Pours mid brown, almost clear but then a touch of haze just gatecrashes the clarity party, a white head sits atop. Woah this is so medicinal on the nose, elastoplast all over this, it's so peaty. A little peatiness in the mouth soon fades to reveal a rich malty, smoky beer, some caramel and a little fruity edge, light bitterness, smooth and super nice and easy drinking, if only the nose wasn't so much of a distraction.

Hazy dark blond/amber colour white creamy foam. Nose of peat, lots and lots of peat, iodine. Body is rather thin, smoky peaty taste with light sweet malty notes. Interesting if you like smoke and peat.

330 ml bottle. Unclear amber, fluffy head. A lot of smoke, smoked bacon, lard, burnt pine needles and wood, hints of single malt whiskey. Malty sweetness, dry bitterness, umami. Full to medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry smoky bittersweet finish. Good.
