PilsnerPeter (2958) - Flushing, New York, USA - JUN 22, 2008
Bottle: Orangey brown pour with a wispy head. Nice smoky aroma. There’s some honey sweetness in the back as well, reminding me of BBQ sauce. Slick mouthfeel, fairly light bodied. Has a very interesting flavor. Herbal character upfront and a solid honey like background. The sweetness is followed by an earthy, mild peat finish filled with smoke. Interesting brew.

Bottle. Tons of smoke and honey in the aroma. Really flavorful with a fuckload of smoke, maybe that’s why I like it so much. Rich smoke in fact. Nice, lively carbonation. The honey is in the finish. Nice stuff!

500mL bottle, courtesy of argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a hazy, orange-reddish color; off-white head with excellent retention and lacing. Toasty, nutty presence in the aroma; some cola and baked goods. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lively carbonation; nuttiness, dried red fruits, chestnuts, and toasted grains; interesting peaty beer, with a touch of pepper in there as well. Medium finish: nuts, peat, and some dry spice.
