| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 26, 2005 Updated: Jun 14, 2005(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 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 24, 2005 Bottle pours light golden, fairly clear, nice lacing, small white head, with soft carbonation. Sweet grass and light malts on the nose. Slightly fruity on the tongue, malty, and also fairly sweet. Average body and mouthfeel, nothing fancy. Light finish, sweet, malty, with a bit more of a grainy flavor. Meh... not bad, certainly enjoyable. Didn’t seem smokey at all to me.   Thanks to mattbob for sharing.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 7, 2005 Gold with a light filmy head. No lacing really. Very nice malty aroma. Slightly smoky, and slightly spicy. It does indeed smell of a whisky. The flavor indicates a lot of the same to me. It is very smooth, creamy almost with a nice finish of malts. I like it. dortmunder (961), Herdecke, Germany
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jan 31, 2005 Bottled. Clear golden colour. Big, foamy head with a lot of lace. Sweetish, cookie malt aroma with hints of whiskey. Tastes quite sweet, caramelly with hints of whiskey. Mediumbodied, slightly creamy texture. Nice. beerinmarch (2810), Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 24, 2005 This beast pours amber with a medium white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is very sweet, big malts with a scotch smell to it. I was expecting this brew to have a very thick syrupy body to it from the aroma, but instead it has a nice medium body, very smooth. Very sweet malt start, caramel and grainy tastes with a scotch hint in the finish. For a smoked brew the smoked malts are very subtle, if I hadn’t have read it above I would have never guessed it.
