0.33l bottle (I think) Clear bottle - skunky aroma, but thankfully, the flavor wasn’t that affected. I think that this is underrated, but not that much. Tastes sweet, but not too much, it’s honeyish and malty, but not like a whiskey. It was quite pleasant, which quite suprised me. Tasted far more like a good red, than like a smoked. But there wasn’t much of a taste, almost no aftertaste, and it was skunky, so I have to lower the score. Probably found a good (even if it was a bit skunky) bottle. Oh, right, it also hides the alcohol quite well.

Hmm..amber coloured, with a small but persistent head. The first sip suprised me, it was bitter, with some unidentifiable, but survivable flavor, which went nicely with the assault of bitteness. So I was quite optimistic when I went to finish the bottle. The optimism soon faded... the next few sips revealed just the bitterness with absolutely no flavor, just a bit of lemony sourness and some hints of caramel near the end. I might have it again...

[At Fete de la Biere 2004, Lausanne] A light brown beer with no head. The aroma is faint - what is there is of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of honey and malt.

Bottled. Amber colour, no head. Syrupy nose with some smokiness. Extremely sweet. The sugar dominates to the point that all in the way of malt and smoke flavours are killed and covered in thick layers of syrup. I'll never be able to finish a 75cl bottle of this...

Light grassy, caramel and some flowery notes. Nice amber, no head though. Dusty anonymous flavors. Medium to light body. Slight caramel aftertaste. Boring.

Light chestnut color. Light whisky in the nose, but lacking in much else. Lagerish, with a vague hint of the whisky. Not cloying like MacGregor, but just as bland.

Golden colored. Very sweet, almost sticky. A little bit of bitterness, but still far too sweet for my liking.
