From a twelve ounce brown bottle, this brew is a crystal clear, amber colored liquid. Thin and disappearing head. Some peaty, smokey, whiskey-like scents. The taste is a bit dry, with a thinner than necessary body. This one is just okay.

A 330ml bottle with a best before date of end of February 2019 and poured into a d’Achouffe tulip glass.

Appearance: It poured a nice clear amber copper colour with a half finger white head that disappears almost immediately while leaving only very sparse lacing.

Aroma: Strong peat with maybe a touch of whisky, caramel, leafy and grass.

Taste: Sweet fruitiness that is mostly apple, medicinal peat and smoky wood.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with low to moderate carbonation.

Overall: The peat from the Islay whisky casks is obviously there and I like it. But after that, the taste is overly sweet which I’m quite particular with.
