Tries to give an appearance of being a whiskey with the color and the design of the bottle. The screw off cap is a nice touch as well. Looks like tea with an alive foamy head. Mild bitter nose with a soda-like effervescence. Mild smoke flavors, but nothing really bold. I'm partial to heavily smoked beers and this falls flat. Some warming alcohol in the end. Some malt flavors. Awful mouthfeel. It's like needles in my mouth.

Poured a golden amber with a large white fluffy head that left nice lacing. Aroma of diactyl, whisky, and skunk. Sweet malty taste with some diactyl, and a good alcohol tinge to the mouth. Watery mouthfeel, forgettable.

AMber color wih a taller light tan head. Hint of malt and mint in the aroma. Heavy feel and sweet, near cloying, malt. Not much as far as smokiness. Not much more than a heavy amber ale. Aftertaste as it warms has soem barnyard flavors that are not real friendly.

Twist-off metal cap like a 40 of Mickey's, with label art that really made me do a triple take to make sure that it was indeed beer and not some form of liquor. Faint aroma, malty and a bit sweet, with some tea leaves, tobacco, caramel, herbal hop and a lil' hint of the shiskey. Medium-dark amber color, clear, with a fine, lasting, creamy head and delicate lacing. Flavor is also malty and sweetish, some light honey and caramel, a small amount of leafy, very faintly spicy hop flavors and vague hints of the earthy peat. Smooth, creamy consistency, medium-full bodied. No apparent smokiness or alcohol, although the strength is obviously not exaggerated because it's having an effect already. I bought this expecting it to actually be a biere de garde. Not all bad, just simple.

Minimal tan head,leaves some scattered laceing behind.Slight malty nose.Medium body,creamy kinda slick mouthfeel.Mild malt flavors and some oxydation, some pencil shavings flavors also.Clear,pretty chestnut color.Uninteresting brew.

Bright copper color. Slightly smokey nose with a light maltiness. Body is sweet and thick with malt. Alcohol is evident, a slight bitterness towards the finish. A bit sweet, bu otherwise ok.

Clear brown w/ small beige head. Malt whiskey & alcohol in the nose w/ some peat. Medium-thin body. Warm whiskeyish flavour but ultimately uninteresting.

Malty alcoholic aroma. Light amber with small head. Maybe it was different but it was nothing speciall. Some whiskey and, malt.
