Rubinröd öl med lätt skum. Doft av rök och söt malt. Smakar verkligen som en ö-whisky. Rök, tjära, trä och läder. Riktigt bra om man gillar denna typ av öl.

A dark brown beer with a medium and beige head. Peat and smoke are dominant in the aroma, also some sweet malts and fruits. Taste is interesting combination of sweetness, peat and smoke also some dry herbs. Full bodied and sooth to drink. Interesting, single malt and smoky -like beer, but as a beer would need more freshness.

Ibrew2or3 (4914) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - APR 1, 2012
Picked up at Texas Liquor in Carlsbad pouring sort of deep gold with white head. The aroma forces up large notes of floral hops, smokiness and then rubbery shoe store mixed with band aid. Well the nose seems a little extreme so maybe the taste will deliver something a bit more palatable. Sadly, no. I get rubber tires, chemically band aid and a thicket of floral flower hops. This isn’t working for me too well.

A - pours dark mahogany with almost no head. Some lacing. S - aromas of smoke, oak, scotch up front. Hints of malts and soy sauce. M - high carb lighter medium bodied brew. Smokey oaky ending with an interesting astringent with mouth numbing tingle, Reminiscent of white soda. Strange. T - strong whiskey, oak, burned malts up front. Malts peat and astringent as well. Lingering tingly smokey malts. O - good scotch . complex and oaky smokey. 7

djd07 (1724) - Houston, Texas, USA - MAR 27, 2012
Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy copper with a small off white head. The aroma is smoke and roast. Thin mouthfeel with a smoke and scotch flavor with alcohol very present. A good barley wine from Dogma and 3F.

PhillyCraft (598) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 27, 2012
Bottle. Smokey, harsh herbal notes, tons of smokey peat, maybe some apple hidden in there. Tough to find with all the roast and smoke flavor. Toffee aftertaste. Good palate. Not my fave.

QueSeraSera (5) - NETHERLANDS - MAR 26, 2012 does not count
Very intense single malt whiskey taste with some toffee in it. Also leathery sensations, color is dark tuby red. high alcohol taste. Smokey, turf. I like it. Very special (and expensive) Don’t try this if you don’t like whiskey.

UPDATED: MAR 19, 2012 Orangish pour, off white head. Aroma of sticky malts, peat, caramel, apples. Flavor is sweet and quite a nice texture. Good toffee and peat flavors.
