330ml bottle. Pours yellow with almost no head. Smells like a sweet smoky scotch that doesn’t know it’s actually beer. Lots of peat in the taste as well. Rather an experimental beer than anything else though.

Bottle, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is all Islay, with tons of smokey whiskey. Flavour is intense, with nothing but smoky Islay. What a monolithic beer. Not exactly good, but a cool beer to try.

Bottle - Sweet peat, smoke and BBQ. Clear gold with a decent white head. Just like it smells, lovely peat, a total smoke bomb. Love it long time.

Bottle at Taps Beer Bar, KL. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is heady, rich, peaty, earth, medicinal, mild acidity and big smoky laphroaig action. The taste is bitter, medicinal, earthy, smoked peat, toast, grain and dough with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation carbonation. As a fan of pleated whisky the nose blew me away, taste wasn’t bad either. Very good.

Bottle at Taps, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a crystal clear light amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is peaty malt citrus honey. The flavour is strong bitter with a huge peat smoke malt medicinal band aid, light alcoholic palate and a medium dry malt bitter finish. The first mouthful almost knocked me off my bar stool but over time it grew on me. It’s rather like durian fruit. If you spit out the first mouthful you will never eat it again. This beer is quite unique and a real bold attempt to do something different.

Yestie Boy’s Rex Attitude made with 100% smoked malt. 7% served in a beer mug. When I think smoked beer I think dark beer, amber brown but this pours a crystal clear deep gold with a good half-inch of foamy head leaving behind decent lacing. The aroma is not-surprisngly smoke, specifically peaty but with some of that slightly chemical almost band-aid type of aroma. It has zero hop bouquet and in terms of smell is close to a whiskey or scotch. Medium bodied with a relative smooth or slightly slick mouthfeel the taste is woody, wood smoke, peat, charcoal briquets... basically you’re drinking smoke. It settles in the pit of my stomach in an acidic way. I should have brought this to share with people, 330ml may be too much for me to drink on my own it is an over-the-top beer. Interesting concept, drinkable but seriously 50-100ml is enough... probably if you enjoy whiskey you will dig this beer much more than me.

12oz bottle pours a clear gold with some swirling white head. Nose is all smoke and rubber, rubber band, cleaning fluid... and rubber. Flavor has some honey sweetness then just kicks you with smokey burning tires. Sickly, rubbery finish. Gross. :-(

Bottle. Poured a small, white head. Lots of peat notes, earthy hops. Flavor is smoke, easters, light malts, some peat. This is interesting, very bold and a touch funky.
