Pours borwn, clear. Small white head. Smell is extremely intense, peat all the way ( even though this is backblended 2:1 ) . Taste is very full, intense peat. mild roasty undertone, but peat does overtake most to all to me.

17 August 2019. At Gents Bierfestival X. Cheers to Anke, Kevin & the crew! Clear dark amber with a lasting, small, frothy, tan head; lots of lacing. Aroma of liqueur-soaked raisin, candied date, dried green tea, brioche, wood, vanilla, tobacco, peated whisky if subtle. Taste is medium malty sweet, quite some candied fruits (ripe plum, raisin, dates), somewhat soaked in liqueur; brioche-like, slightly caramelly maltiness & earthy bitterness combined, smoky, woody & herbal accents in the back. Dry, earthy hoppy finish, lingering dried fruit, wood, warming & subtle peated whisky alcohol. Full body, oily-creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Not overwhelming, but not underwhelming either. Glad to experience that not every peat-infused beer has to be dominated by peat.

2014 bottle. Dark brown color. Candied fruit and peat in the aroma. Ash. malty sweet flavor with warming alcohol, ash, iodine and peat. A bit too alcoholic, slightly out of balance.

Small off-white rim over dark brown beer. Marzipan & rosemary. As to Islay... ? Thick maltnose. In the mouth, smoke and oak appear, if very restrained, and in fact not for the worse. Very mild phenols, tarred poles, fusels. Medium bodied, alcoholwarming, long-lasting mild peat. Mild - but good.

Bottle at the Kulminator, 07/12/18. Mahogany brown with a decent beige covering that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is peated malts, spice, stewed fruits, oak, toffee, light smoke. Taste comprises peated malts, Ardbeg barrel, fruit cake, toasted brown sugars, light medicinal notes. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced alcohol. Not bad.

Hazy brown colour with thin head. Aroma is very strong with iodine and sweet malts. Similar flavour. Rich body. Lots of the whisky comes through.
