Schloss Eggenberg MacQueens Nessie (7.3%)

Sampled from bottle at Danish Beer Festival 2004 (#16).
Light yellow beer with a fine white head. Sweet malty and a little fruity aroma. Flavor is also sweet and malty with a weak tone of smoke underneath. Very sweet and somwhat cloying and way too anonymous smoke notes.

Typical golden lager color with medium head. Whisky-malty, sweetish aroma. Sweet, malty, quite original flavor. Quite sweet, medium to full-bodied, oily and port-wineous palate. Quite nice and different - and definitely better than any whisky I’ve tasted.

Clear amber appearance with an evolving aroma that smells like it could have been aged in whiskey barrels. Malty and earthy, with a lingering sweetness that avoids being cloying. Straining to find the qualities associated with it being a smoked beer.

Pale golden, slightly peaty aroma. Sweet malt, touch of peat, thickish mouthfeel. Very straightforward with a lightning quick finish.

Aroma is burbon and pears. Appearance is a dark golden color with little head. Flavor is whiskey, citurs, and caramel. Its a bit on the sweet side. The mouthfeel is fairly thin. Some smoke notes are detectable in the aftertaste. Overall a good sippin beer but nothing that special.

Amber color with a smallish white head. Yummy malt aroma. Nice roasted malt flavor that nicely masks the 7.3%. Very smooth finish. Tasted of some sort of black liquor in the end.

Golden amber color. A little evidence of smoke to tthe nose with some butter and caramel. Flavor has some sweetness and a little hint of whisky.

Golden clear with thin white head. The nose is sweet malty nose with some rust. The taste is initially malty sweet then agressive rust and smoked malts. Not great but not bad.
