330ml bottle. Heavy, peaty and sweetish with some roastiness, syrup, hints of smoke, oak, wood and whisky. Okay.

33cl bottle from JefVerstrate, many thanks! Euro swap 2/2020. Poured pitch black in color with a tan head. Peat is all over here. Roastedness , ash and dark chocolate. Heavy stuff, peaty and ashy finish. Although I am a friend of peaty beers, this was quite aggressive.

Bottle from Belgian Brewed. Pitch black colour, thick and syrpuy, brown foam. Lots of roasted malts and coffee, some vanilla and lots of peat. Very nice BA stout!
Too peated... Overules the other flavours. And again a bit too carbonated.

Another of the peated whisky barrel aged variants of Bram Neudt’s nightmare, bottle shared at Nieuwjaarsreceptie Gentse Biervereniging. Pale greyish beige, mousy, open head on a black beer with thin, hazy mahogany-coloured edge. Aroma even more strongly peated than the already very peaty Ledaig version, really iodine-like here, over impressions of old ‘fondant’ chocolate, dried bladderwort, cigar ashes, dried figs, nutmeg, thyme, bayleaf, beef stock, hard caramel. Sweetish, dried fig-like onset with a beef stock-like umami edge, medium carb, full oily body; hard-caramelly, brown-bready and bitter-chocolatey ‘core’ with earthy side notes like the regular with a very roasty-bitter finish, eventually deeply drenched in utterly peaty, ashy, whisky-like flavours with matching alcohol warmth. Very well done like the others in this mini series, but even more so than for the Ledaig version, be ware: you’ll have to love peat in order to appreciate this one!

1/II/20 - 33cl bottle @ nieuwjaarsreceptie Gentse Biervereniging, BB: n/a (2020-100) Thanks to everyone for sharing all today’s beers!
Clear dark brown beer, dense creamy beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: super peated, very medicinal, lots of chlorine, very overwhelming. MF: medium to full body. Taste: sweet start, nice roast, lots and lots of peat, chocolate, alcohol burn. Aftertaste: very roasted, malty, dry, bit sourish, some dried fruits, nice, not as peated as it smells (luckily).
