This beer has been slowly and lovinlgy matured in world-famous Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Whisky casks. Absorbing all the deep flavours from these very special casks - spicy woodsmoke and peat, sea salt and burnt toffee - the beer adds its own rich, roasted flavour to create something as unforgettable and uncompromising as the island which inspired it.

On keg at I n G Lothian Road. Appearance - deep plum to autumnal red. Neat off white head. Nose - Manor smoke, wood and iodine. Unmistakably Islay. Taste - prunes and black cherry. Then the smoke which doesn't dominate as much as on the nose. Palate - medium bodied with a fruity tang and then smoke dries it out. Overall - really interesting beer. The smoke on the nose is a touch clumsy mind.

Brun klar med beige skum. Lukter torv og surt bål. Middels fylde. Smaker bare torv og røyk.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear, nutty brown with an orange hue and a small, rough, off-white head. Nose is a blend of sweet toffee and iodine - utterly disgusting. Medium body, sweet caramel, iodine and ashtray. Lowish carbonation. I am not a fan of peated beers, and this does absolutely nothing to change that. 280622

Mörkbrun med krämigt skum. Doft av torv, rök och tjära. Torr smak av torv, rök och tjära; smakar som Laphroaig helt enkelt. fast utan brännande spritsmak då. Man måste nog gilla Laphroaig för att kunna uppskatta denna.
