Label calls it a "Nuclear/charged bock beer".
Pours dark amber, hazy, with a small white head building up, quickly dissipating to a thin sticky lace.
Surprisingly (given the fact that nothing of the sort is stated on the label) the first smell picked up from afar is peat. Just strong clear peated malts, backed up by a nice alcoholic punch and some honey sweetness. Some sticky ripe orchard fruit, faint biscuits, faint leafiness.
Peat in the taste too, from start to finish, but not the main star. Still, big burnt tire taste that some people hate. Sweet malts dominate, with lots of honey and juicy fruit (overripe peaches, apricots, sweet oranges, cherry plum, pineapple juice). Enriched with caramel, faint (burnt) toffee, and riddled with sweet herbal spices (wild thyme, sage, ribwort, faint coriander). Even greener in the finish, combined with the smokiness, giving off some pine and burnt spruce tips. Quite bitter, a bit of sweetness lingering, but also some nice stuff in the aftertaste (peat, orchard fruit, hop oils).
Medium to heavy in body, sticky, with a medium carbonation. Alcohol is nicely hidden, probably because of the other elements that really steal the show. Reminds of nice Scotch.
I didn't expect this beer to be that good, but on the other hand i never tried anything from Brewmeister (i had the preconceived notion that they're just ripping off BrewDog). Quite unique, strong, well-done, packed with very diverse flavours.
