Bottle thanks to minutemat. Appearance - a beautiful deep amber with a nice lacy head. Nose - so much iodine, plasters and a bit of seawood. Taste - peaty toffee. Weird. Palate - complex and rich in body and texture. A bit cloying and peaty on the finish. Overall - what is the underlying beer. Nae idea as the peat kills everything underneath?

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb and Stuu666. Pours clear deep amber with a thin white head. Aromas of whisky, peat, wood, faint sugar. Taste is very strongly medicinal. I can see how this would be divisive, but I like it well enough.
