Looks like a pale honey, similar to an American lager. Smells of vanilla, honey, and graham up front, followed by a smoky peat. A whiff of almond. Taste is mixed. If I'm trying to be nice, I might detect some cinnamon, cocoa, and bitter orange. On the other hand, it's reminiscent of a medicinal analgesic. What lingers on the palate isn't particularly pleasant. If I had to drink it, I would hide it in a cocktail.
