I tried this beer the other night and all I can say is WOW.

It has a very strong peat flavor, extremely smokey. It is a thick dark beer and I will admit it took a bit of getting used to. I have found other reviews on line, but I have to say I am no good at identifying or describing flavors the way "professional" tasters do. At the beer tasting I was at I got three reactions as I shared bits of it.

First was mine: Interesting, mostly what I wrote above.

Second was from a home brewer: disgusting, never want to have that again.

Third was from a beer taster who is also a fan of Single Malts: Tastes exactly as it is supposed to, very much like that specific single malt (Lagavulin).

This brewery has made the same beer aged in different types of casks, so far I have tried the sherry cask and this one. Both pick up all the flavor of the casks. Enough to make me curious to try the others.

At one local liquor store that sells individual bottles of beer this is a $10 bottle. It is the only place I have seen it so far, but they have all the variants. I think the next one I want to try is the Port Cask.
