66 cl. bottle. Pours a light copper-ish colour. aromas are whisky, a bit malty but too dominated by the whisky. The taste is again dominated by whisky. the beer is too weak to balance out the flavours from the whisky barrel. its a shame since the idea is good, but the result is moderate..

UPDATED: APR 8, 2012 66 cl bottle @ home. Pours reddish brown with a small white head – lot of lacing with a small amount of sediment floating around. Aroma is malty, yeasty, sugary, fruity, slightly funky. Taste is much of the same. Not much different from the original – perhaps a little boozier in both aroma and taste. ABV is not as well hidden as in the original.
