Bottle: Hazy, reddish-amber coloured, firm creamy tanned head; vinous, fruity (dried dark berries) nose with a certain acidity; soft MF, dryish bitter-sourish flavour, light to medium-bodied; fruity vinous finish with traces of cacao and a detectable acidity in the aftertaste. Sourish, but nevertheless quite well drinkable........

Bottled. Hazy deep golden, airy head. Intriguing smokey malt aroma. Sweet and very peaty with dense mouthfeel. Most certainly with lots of islay whisky character. Peat and smoke dominates. I sense no hops, so the smoke lingers also in the finish and only have to battle the malt sweetness for attention. An interesting experiment.

Bottle from someone at the Burgundian Babblebelt meeting at White Horse, Parson’s Green. Whisky copper colour, slight haze. No head. Aroma of malt whisky. Iodine, peaty malt. Some creamy toffee and then medicinal iodine finish. Orange whisky aroma. It is like an Islay whisky. Pretty intense. Good whisky alcohol burn.

No head, clear orange, still beer. Fully tarry, leather grease, and indeed, watered-down Islay Uisce Beatha. Sweet with then smoked malt whisky, just not as alcoholic. No bitterness. It gives a watery MF - which it hasn’t - because one starts comparing it to whisky, rather than to beer... Very interesting. Still, I think I prefer it distilled.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy yellow beer with a disappearing head. The aroma is sweet spicy combined with notes of elderberry flowers and hops. The flavor is sweet malty combined with a spiciness and with a hoppy bitter end.

Bottled. Mahogany colour, no head. Aroma of apple cellar. Sweetish with rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Flavours are vague and non-descript, with the slightest notes of heather and cider. Very low bitterness. Really odd beer.
