Whisky BA Doppelbock
2024's Doppelbock, aged in a very peaty Islay whisky barrel.
This is smoky, dark, peated and intense.
Not for the feint of heart.

The brethren provideth. Opaque dark brown with a ruby tint. Bubbly beige head soon forms a microbubble thin band. Aroma is certainly peaty... virtually entirely. Underlying caramel malts provide a sweet buffer. Hmm...
Smoky. Almost acrid. A sour streak that's citrusy. There's also a sweet streak in there. More of a follow-up. However the barrel aging does seem to have launched a coup. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft lazily fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. I like. If you don't like heated whisky you won't agree. But another one where I'd like to try the original.
