28 April 2018, at Zythos Bierfestival. Deputy Taster: Anke. Rating #1000.
Hazy dark amber to brown, lasting frothy, tan head; some lacing. Intense aroma of ripe peach & banana, peated malt, raisin, fruit liqueur, roasted malt, some caramel. It tastes medium to heavy caramel-like sweet and light roasted bitter, a bit peaty & fruity. Dry, hoppy finish, a bit peppery, with warming whisky alcohol which remains relatively well hidden. Full body, creamy/syrupy texture, soft carbonation. On the sweet side, but enough peat & hops to balance it out. Good stuff!

Nose is sweet mocha, buttersotch, caramel, faint cheap ice cream,... Nose is far better than the taste. Taste is mocha, far too BE in a poor way, plastic, alcohol, messy, corn, bay, leaf, mess,...
