A superb balanced beer with ’smokey’ overtones from peated malt. With a measure of English Whisky from St. George’s Distillery in Norfolk, it is rich in flavour.

    Bottle shared with Tim. Light opaque yellow, white lacing foam head. Light smokey aroma, some smoke tones in taste. More oak dominated than whisky in taste and aftertaste. (Rotterdam 201702)

    Poured a golden colour. Huge foamy bubbly head. Mild carbonation. Has a sorta ashtray/burnt like aroma, not very appealing. Weird smokey like flavour, most likely from being aged in whisky cask (right?) Odd mixture and to me doesn't seem to be blending well. Not my fave St. Peters brew for sure. Still drinkable, but will not be trying again.

    Being a fan of single malts I thought I would enjoy this beer. Poured an amber colour with a thin bubbly head which was gone in a flash. Thin but smooth mouthfeel. Smoked aroma and very strong peaty flavour. Don't think I will be going back for more.

    Their regular flask-looking glass bottle, in a darker green, from the LCBO. Pours a golden-amber colour with a foamy head, average retention and soapy lace. Big peaty nose found in whiskeys, with caramel and burnt wood. Medium-thin mouthfeel, sometimes more wet than others. The taste is a nice blend of lots going on. Some fruitiness (oranges), some grain malt, some whiskey peat, smoke, and some bitterness from the hop. A pretty interesting beer for fans of whiskeys only.

    500ml bottle - decants a lightly hazed honey-gold ale with a small bit sticky cap that lasts modeately and laces the glass. Aroma is smokey-musty with grainy undertones - like a Bamberg rauchbier but more restrained. Meduim body, slick mouth feel. Ups front this ale has a wonderful 3way balance between the peat smoke, malt and resiny hops - nothing overpowers anything else, mid palate these 3 flavour form a dulcet amalgam mid palate - it then goes on to a fast finish with hop resins and light astringecy from the smoke riding just over the malt- lingering smokey bittering. All in all a very good smoked beer which is not too over powering to have 2 or so. But where this beer really shines is when paired up with sronger tasting cheeses and foods like blue cheese or old cheddar or mutton stew - first rate as a food pairing brew.

    The beer pours a translucent red-tinged gold colour with a thin tan head. The aroma is smoked malt, whisky, and grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is smoked malt, with some sweetness to balance it out (and fails).

    500 ml capped bottle. Poured in the original St Peter's pint a clear rich golden-amber coloured Ale with a generous three fingers slight beige creamy foamy head that had a very long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Sustained carbonation. Some floating sediments. Good lacing. The aroma is intense peated malts and strong smoke, notes of woods. The flavour is strong peated malts, herbs, smoke, notes of caramel. The mouthfeel is clean, round and a bit sweety. This light to medium bodied Ale has long smokey, sweety and peated malts finish. This full tempered Ale is tasteful and peat is special, you like it or you .. hate it !

    Aroma is strongly woodish and has some hints to juniper and bread. Color is darkish yellow and there is not so much of a top in there. Taste is strange at first. Would not say it is the whisky here, but let's presume... I would still say theres a lit of smoked tree in there with bitterish end... Would probably go really well with meat or christmas food.

    500 ml dark green oval bottle, as St. Peter’s The Saints Whisky Beer, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.8%. Deep golden colour, low white head. Strong aroma of peat smoke / peated whisky. Medium dry flavour, strong notes of peat smoke / peated whisky and ashes. Too peaty for my taste - if they wanted to add English single malt whisky to the beer (which indeed they did), they should have reduced the amount of peat smoked malts. "Superb balance"? Not at all! The flavour is pretty close to licking an ashtray.
