Bottle drunk while catching up on Stranger Things before the final season. Super dark with a thin brown head. Sweet brown sugar nose with light earthy peat notes. More rounded and smooth than the 12y and possibly less oxidized. Light foresty campfire, toasted black and chocolate malt, very big flavor with solid, matching bitterness. Excellent!

Black color, thin head, sweet bready roasted malt nose with smoky hints. Flavor is very smooth, moderate hops bitterness, excellent rich mouthfeel with well integrated whisky notes in the finish. Earthy, peaty, great match of this beer with smoky whisky.

Bohemian Pilsener or 'světlý ležák' by Scottish Harviestoun; enjoyed from a bottle at Aberdeen airport as the last Scottish beer of my trip in Scotland (ignoring a Punk IPA by BrewDog). Snow white, bubbly, medium thick, lightly lacing, breaking head over a crystal clear pale 'metallic' brass-golden robe with lively sparkling. Aroma of dried white bread, grass, petrichor, wet cereals, ferrous spring water, dried flowers, green tree leaves in spring. Rounded grainy onset, sweetish with lots of prickly carbonation forming an important minerally undercurrent, running through the whole like a babbling mountain brook. Greenish-cereally malts remain pure till the end, rounded and thereafter bittered by a grassy, even rooty, 'green', very credible, even somewhat 'raw' hoppiness. Quite a solid and pure Pilsener, above average for one not made in its home region, I would say.
