(Bottle 33 cl) Beers based on whisky-malt are mainly popular in France, but you do find the odd one elsewhere. Usually they have a pronounced smoked flavour. But not this one. "Nessie" is just alcoholic and bitter, like the typical strong lager. Full golden colour, nice, tall, creamy head, but looks doesn’t compensate for a very disappointing flavour. 090704

Bottle pours light golden, fairly clear, nice lacing, small white head, with soft carbonation.   Sweet grass and light malts on the nose.   Slightly fruity on the tongue, malty, and also fairly sweet.   Average body and mouthfeel, nothing fancy.   Light finish, sweet, malty, with a bit more of a grainy flavor.   Meh... not bad, certainly enjoyable.   Didn’t seem smokey at all to me.   Thanks to mattbob for sharing.

Gold with a light filmy head. No lacing really. Very nice malty aroma. Slightly smoky, and slightly spicy. It does indeed smell of a whisky. The flavor indicates a lot of the same to me. It is very smooth, creamy almost with a nice finish of malts. I like it.

Bottled. Clear golden colour. Big, foamy head with a lot of lace. Sweetish, cookie malt aroma with hints of whiskey. Tastes quite sweet, caramelly with hints of whiskey. Mediumbodied, slightly creamy texture. Nice.

This beast pours amber with a medium white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is very sweet, big malts with a scotch smell to it. I was expecting this brew to have a very thick syrupy body to it from the aroma, but instead it has a nice medium body, very smooth. Very sweet malt start, caramel and grainy tastes with a scotch hint in the finish. For a smoked brew the smoked malts are very subtle, if I hadn’t have read it above I would have never guessed it.
