Very sweet, slightly malty nose with hints of the alcohol. The color is orange and it has a small but very fast disappearing head. The flavor is malty sweet with notes of smoke and a little whisky - it even has a little burn on the back of the tongue as a whisky - quite unique. In the end it turns dry with a dominating note of wood. The palate is quite good. All in all a very interesting beer.

(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

Orange coloured. Some sweetish smokiness in the nose, big nice malty body. A complex, unusual and tasty brew.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with creamy white head. Medium dry malt aroma. Flavour is mild hoppy to a malt flavour with light whiskey notes and mild fruit. Mild malt driven flavour into the finish.

Bottled (from CrackedKettle). Deep ambery golden colour with mediumsized foamy white head. Aroma is quite strong on malts, some slight fruity notes as well as alcohol. Flavour is fruity, a bit roasted malty with some slight caramelly notes as well.
