This is in a clear bottle, 6.6% abv. Its thing is it is stored for a while in ex-malt whisky casks.
I like it. There is nothing too "natural" about it, i.e., no yeastiness such as one finds in many Belgian beers or bottle-conditioned beers from anywhere. Also, it has no estery quality such as one finds in English ales (although esteriness is not really a hallmark of Scotch ales, due perhaps to the historically colder temperatures at which ale was brewed in Scotland vs. (in the south at any rate), England). But it has a fresh smooth butterscotch-like taste, free of pasteurisation burn which is nice. I can't say I notice the whisky's effect although some oaky influence is present, and also a definite light smoky note, which I now think must derive from whisky and not just that, peated whisky. In any case the marriage of whisky and beer produces a distinctive, pleasing effect that can't be linked necessarily to the components (a not unusual effect of a blending method).
A nice change of pace.
No indication on the label who brews this but there is a website (Greg take it from here
