Ardbeg is one of my favourite Whisky-distilleries - but this beer is a disgrace to that Whisky. We have on the one side a fresh peaty woody whisky - and on the other side a grainy, slightly sweetish thin-bodied beer. The thin and simple caramel grainy body can’t stand up to the intense woody and peaty beer. A complete tilt, that can’t create a nice and enjoyable feeling. The aftertaste has nice ideas of caramel and malt, that would have been great on the beer-side, but the grain and the neutral bitterness destroy the picture of a nice harmony with the well-crafted whisky. Sad.

Klares dunkel bernsteinfarbenes Bier mit einer geringen schaumkrone. Der Geruch ist leicht rauchig, torfig, Vanille. Geschmack nach Torf, Rauch, trocken, Vanille.
