From the 12 oz bottle in a snifter. This odd little brew pours a light
amber with little head and no lacing. Nose of oak, smoke, Irish peat
notes, and light whiskey. Flavors follow the nose with heavy smoked malts,
a touch of orange rind mingling with the whiskey (a style of which I have never tried
BTW) and moderately touched by herbal hops and a touch of earthy yeast.
Decent mouth feel reminiscent of an English IPA with no carbonation
and a smoked peat malt whiskey aftertaste. Decent but would not seek
this one out again.

Pour very cloudy deep orange very thin white head that quickly dissipates no lacing.

Smell not much comes out except a strong whiskey smell

Taste no alcohol but tons of smoked oak flavor as the beer warms it becomes overpowering and tastes like liquid smoke.

Feel light very dry

Overall did not enjoy this beer would not have again.

Poured into Delirium Tulip. Didn’t see the expiration date, so a couple months past prime.

No head to speak of. Some small lacing.

The smell is like straight scotch whiskey and manure. The whiskey balances the hops, and leaves a funky yet watery smell.

Taste is much the same, a lot like horse pasture.

I don’t get this beer at all lol. Probably the worst craft beer I've had.
