Nice! Creamy and light Banana thing. Touch of herbs. But body of a stronger beer. Interesting
Very special. Tastes like a kristalweizen. Which I guess makes it special! Not so sure though.

Nice fruitiness. Fades a little but it’s alright!
Loads of peat In the aroma. Less in the taste but it’s still the dominant factor. Once you get past that it’s pleasantly roasty. Belgian elements have been a bit buried though.

Tap at the brew pub. Hazy deep gold with a tall head. Hoppy citrus nose, tropical fruit, biscuits, light diacetyl. Nice hops, good citrus and wheat but too much diacetyl in the flavor.

Tap at the brew pub. Deep black with a nice head. Huuuuge peat nose, band-aid, burning tires. Flavor reveals a bit of chocolate and Belgian yeast before then turning to burning tired, medicine, iodine and band aids. Way, way too much peat. Probably brewed well, just a bad idea.

Tap at the brew pub. Done in the weizen-like style, estery, phenolic nose. Hazy golden color with a big head. Spicy flavor, light rye comes though, but huge phenols and burnt plastic take over and ruin it.

Tap at the brew pub. Noe is licorice, fruits, coffee, roast. Spicy and estery, nice flavor but too young again.

Tap at the brew pub. Nutty bread nose, light noble hops. Deep golden orange color. Bready, malty, nice malt, ok hops. A bit too estery and spicy for the style, so probably not lagered long enough, but a good start.
