normally i don’t like aged beer, or beer with cognac flavor. This one is different, very enjoyable beer, drinkable, notes of honey and whiskey, buttersmooth. enough bitterness to balance the sweetness. i could buy this again for sure.

33 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Dry tar and woody aroma. Flavour holds a solid dry pipe smoke note arising from back of the nose. Dry yet also mild sweet caramel malt body. Ends with a mild sweet flavour once the smoke note disapears.

Deep blond color. Smokey aroma, light phenol too. The aroma is ok, but the flavor is much worse: sweetish and artificial, as if they used saccharin, with some smokeyness. Weird.

(Bottle) Pale brown colour with firm, frothy, beige head. Smoky, tarry nose with dried fruit (mainly apricots), wood, heather and evident aromas of Islay whisky. Smokey, fruity taste with tar, dried apricots, Islay whisky and oak wood. Very sweet with heavy flavours of peaty whisky. Too sweet for me, taste is slightly out of balance, not really delivering what the nose promised. Very interesting and a decent try.

330 ml. bottle. Dated 07 Dec 08. Aroma is something like herbal hop. Copper color with a decent white head. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Comes on bready sweet, with some herbal or floral hop, but not enough to dry it out. Leaves a sweet note in the finish. Arguably the hop is zesty, but what is it? Rather a different stroke at an IPA. Oak arrives after awhile.
