On tap at Glacier, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is dominated by the peated smoke upfront, light sweetness and bready malt. Flavour has a nice peated smoke character, but the base beer is not good: too sweet, bready and almost syrupy. Way too sweet to be complemented by the Laphroaig barrels. Very disappointing.

On nitro tap at Glacier, pours a clear copper with a medium off-white head. Aroma brings out bitter piney hops, some resins, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is quite bitter, with lots of piney hops, bitter citrus rind, and just enough sweet malt to back. Bitter finish with a smooth palate from the nitrogenation. Good stuff.

On tap at Glacier, pours a cloudy muddled amber with a medium white head. Aroma brings out straw, barely a trace of blueberries and a touch of lacto. Flavour is very muted — they just didn't put enough stuff in here. Light blueberry and straw finish. Pretty lame and lifeless.

On tap at Glacier, pours a dull golden with a small white head. Aroma is impressively muted for a 9% beer; I wouldn't have guessed there's any honey in here. Flavour is lightly sweet and moderately boozy, with a hint of honey, biscuity malt and alcohol. Clean and vibrant but not particularly interesting flavour-wise. It's alright.

On tap at Glacier, pours a deep dark brown / bead-black with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out light oats, gentle cocoa, and some dusty earthiness. Flavour is smooth, with hearty oats, gentle cocoa and some earthiness. Smooth and creamy palate due to the nitrogenation. Pleasant.

Draught at source: pours blackish with beige head. Aroma is loads of peaty scotch, some caramel. Taste is whisky heavy, peaty, a bit burnt. Solid.
