21/7/2019. Sample, from bottle, courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear bright dark gold with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, fruit, wood, very light whiskey, golden syrup and brown sugar. Medium plus sweetness with light bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, soft carbonation. Not bad.

Bière 33 cl trouvée au Comptoir Irlandais. Robe ambrée parfaitement limpide à grosses bulles, peu de mousse. Nez sur le fut de chêne, le malt à whisky, , le caramel, le boisé, le sucre, la vanille, plutôt attractif. En bouche, carbonatation moyenne à faible, notes de fût de chêne, de malt, de caramel, de whisky, de vanille. Une bière intéressante avec de belles notes de fût de chêne, mais qui malheureusement laissent vite place à une blonde trop légère à la finale aqueuse. Le nez promet beaucoup mais en bouche le rendez-vous est un peu raté. Manque de complexité et de corps pour être vraiment au top.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Bottle purchased in Corsica. Decent head but gone fast. Clear amber, very little aroma (not much hops). Taste is sweet, malt heavy, some oaky tannin astringency, hints of lemon. Quite tasty, but I couldn't drink more than one as it's a pretty sweet malty/heavy tasting beer. The whisky note is pretty hard to detect but there's some undercurrent there. Very well rounded.
