This beer is like nothing else. It attacks your taste bud from every angle. It is a love it or hate it beer much like a Islay whiskey. Very smokey yet flavour some. An amazing bitter twang. Brown in colour with a slight hear. You could share a bottle betwween two but would struggle to finish more than one to yourself.

I loved this beer..After taking a drink I had the urge to bite into a smoked flank of lamb. That said, it has a very smoky aftertaste. This smoky flavor is somewhat balanced by a slightly sweet taste. In the brewing video, they said they used shortbread cookies. In short, it was unlike any beer I have ever tasted, a collaborative beer warrants a distinct taste and Bitch Please offers you that.

peatily delicious. but not for everyone. delighted to have it as my 1000th.

Hazy ruby-brown with a modest beige head that fades to a quick ring. Aroma of whiskey barrel, peat, dark fruit and caramel. The taste is much the same: wood, whiskey, peat, dark fruit... A little sweet, a little bitter, a little boozy... Lovely. Medium body. Effing beautiful.

Got as part of my Xmas gift from MA, thanks mommy! .. . Pours a deep amber maple .. medium foam, awesome lacing for such a high grav .. . fantastic whiffs of scotch and wood smoke, like a santa hat that has sat on top of a chimney .. . super smooth, and something i would drink a case of EasY!! if not for the steep price of almost $15 a bottle .. . definitely a case of peaty than smokey , but i fuckin dug it!!! . . . . Hmm.. That seems to be all you can say. When you were in that coma, did you feel your brain getting damaged?

Sampled at Copenhagen beer festival 2011. Clear brown, small baige head. Smokey tar aroma with loads of toffee, buttery bisquit and fruity plum. Very ashy dry smoke flavor mixed with caramel and toffee sweetness. Peated smoke finish with an alchohol bitterness. Sounds like its very peated, but it really isnt. Its more like that, sniffing an empty whisky bottle kinda peat.

Bottle from Pizza Port Store. Clear garnet brown with a short lived creamy off white head. Molasses, raisin, chocolate, sweet spice smokey scotch and vanilla aroma. Earthy, musty tastes of peat, smoke, leather, tobacco, chocolate, smooth scotch, and charred oak. Thick, bright, citrusy palate. Not usually my sort of beer (I don’t usually go for so much peat forward flavors), but very good overall with the peat not being completely over powering.

330ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark chestnut, with a medium off-white head, which lasts well, leaving behind decent lace. The aroma is clearly very influenced by the Islay malts and the time the beer has spent in Jura casks - it smells almost exactly like Islay whisky - peat smoke, maritime aromas and iodine being the main notes, although there is a hint of toffee as well. This is no bad thing, Islay malts being among the finest whiskies in the world. Very mild hops give way almost instantly to smooth toffee, which in turn succumbs to a brief, strongly sweet, fairy floss taste. This creates a bizarre, yet strangely harmonious combination with the Islay whisky which surges into the finish, leaving behind the same lingering smokiness as a whisky of that provenance would. A peculiar beer, this one. Only Brewdog would ever think of blending toffee and whisky into a beer, and good luck to them. Their madcap brewing certainly does make the world of beer a more interesting place.

UPDATED: OCT 12, 2011 AROMA: hay, smoke, raisin, hint of alcohol, whisky, wood, WOW APPEARANCE: dark brown, clear, frothy head that disappears. TASTE: light sweetness, lightly bitter, umami PALATE: full body, sticky, lively, long finish filled with smoke OVERALL: this is a complex beer, very well put together as very strong aromas are balanced out (the smokiness from Laphroig is quite pronounced). Very strong, but the alcohol is well hidden.

Bottle from Euston Tap. Pours dark copper brown with a stable head. Intense caramel, smoked malts, iodine as well as tropical fruits. Laphroig leads the way in the mouth with some smoothing caramel. A new style is born.
