Big creamy off-white head. Smoky aroma and flavor, not the Bamberg one, but in this case a very artificial smokiness. Sweet and metallic with a cheap alcohol flavor. Much worse quality as Adelscott. An insult to the human throat and nose.

One of Huyghe’s strange hit-or-miss experiments, since 1993 but not sure if it’s still made; a ’whisky beer’, in the sense that it is made with whisky malts, resulting in a whisky-like orange blonde colour (with thin head) and a whisky-like smell paired with orange, vanilla and dried fruits, sweet profile, bit strange, unbalanced and artificial. I had worse from this brewery but then, my palate wasn’t by far as experienced as it is now when I tasted it (which was in 2002 at Trollekelder in Ghent). Not sure why it is listed as a smoked beer here...

Bottle 25 cl. Creamy white mostly lasting head. Fantastic orange colour. Powerfull malty and yeasty aroma. Lots of flavor, but there is something ih the finish that I dont like.

(Bottle 25 cl) Pretty much everything is unusual about this beer: the Scottish name, the small, clear glass bottle and the smoked malts. Incredibly pretty (whisky)golden colour with a small, white head. Medium body, smooth malty character with an oddly dry character. Unusual palate when this hits the buds. oaky, smoked notes. 100399

Amber, sweet, cloying beer/whisky blend. Light whisky notes, lots of sugar. Uneventful.
