2.0 Expiracy date sep.2015. Cloudy orange color with white head. Aroma of caramel and malt. Light sweet taste of caramel and maybe whiskey. It has too light body to be a really good beer.

2.6 Clear dark amber color beer with thick little white head. Aroma is sweet malts, caramel. Taste is malts, caramel and little bit of smoke. Light sweet and bitter. Maybe little bit too sweet. Light body. Overall not bad.

2.4 0.33l bottle. Malty aroma, caramel notes. Almost clear amber color, white head. Taste is the same as aroma, the tones are unbalanced. Medium body, watery texture, average carbonation and malty, bitter finish. Very unbalanced beer, average.

2.9 11.2 oz bottle. Amber, with a small, short lived, head and minimal lace. Aroma is malty, toast with a touch of smoke, yeast, caramel. Flavor is sweet, malty, yeast, smoke. A bit too sweet and unbalanced.

2.5 Butelka 0,33l. Z butelki delikatny aromat słodowy, bandaże na granicy autosugestii. Złote, klarowne, obfita piana. Ze szkła aromat niewiele lepszy, bardzo mało się tu dzieje, wyraźniejsze bandaże. W smaku słodowe, trochę karmelu, wodniste, nadal delikatne bandaże. Goryczka niska, nasycenie umiarkowane.

2.7 Golden, clear. Low head. Aroma maltforward, very subrtle smoke. Palate medium, low carbonation. Taste balanced, yet subtle, sour tones in finish. Medium-bitter finish.

2.5 Bottle from Spar. Golden colour, white unstable head. Aroma malty, grain. Taste is malty, grain, some hops. Bitter in aftertaste. Nothing special.

1.7 Bottle at home. Aroma is strong sweet malt, caramel, buttery notes and some alcohol. Flavour is unpleasant malty sweetness. Body is medium. I don’t like this at all, overpowering nasty malty sweetness. Onedimensional and unpalatable.

2.6 Aroma: roasted dark malts, malty, something like skunk. Appearance: clear golden-amber color thin white head. Taste: medium herbal bitterness, malty, some woody notes, stalky, quite dry, skunk. Palate: low body and medium carbonation, malty finish. Overall: Rather bland beer, nothing interesting.

3.1 Bottle, 33cl. Deep amber/orange with a frothy tan head. Strong aromas of corn with hints of roasted malt, Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth and creamy. Medium sweet corn and malty character into a fiery, dry whisky bitter finish, Disappointing, but pleasant.

1.9 Aroma almost does not exist, slightly alcoholic. Slightly darker lager. Watery taste and some bitterness in the aftertaste. Not to recommend.

2.5 0,33l bottle at home thanks to my gf. BB 07/2016. copper / redish clear shiny color, small to medium big white head. smells of cardboard, light sweetness, honey, a bit peppery, spices. not too crazy about the smell. medium body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes caramel, lightly bitter, some citric notes, tobacco, plums, some stale hops / a bit cardboardish again. finishes lightly bitter with peppery notes and some fruity notes. not a fan, drinks a bit harsh.

2.6 Ciemnozłote, zmętnione. Piana drobna, biała. Opada do kożuszka na powierzchni. Aromat słaby, lekko słodowy. Trochę nut drewnianych. W smaku wytrawne, lekko goryczkowe. Ale tez słabo. Miało to być piwo wędzone-bardzo słabe. Po ogrzaniu wychodzi więcej nut wędzonych i zwiększa się goryczka. Ale nadal słabe jak na słodzie wędzonym whisky.

3.2 BOTTLE 33 CL. Slightly hazy deep amber, off-white sticky head. The aroma is full of aromatic Vienna malt and bread, very light spicy notes - could be peated, but it’s more like hops. Taste: very malty, not necessarily sweet, nice spicy hoppy finish. Had a beet of that vegetable/tomato off-flavour. No peat here, but it is nevertheless a very decent amber lager.

2.9 Das MacQueens Nessie Bier kommt aus Österreich - daher passt der Name irgendwie überhaupt nicht, sondern soll wohl lediglich die Verbindung zu Whiskey darstellen. Was dieses sog. Whiskey Malt Red Beer außer der duchaus hübschen Farbe noch mit Whiskey zu tun hat, bleibt mir verborgen - geschmacklich jedenfalls nix. Geschmacklich habe wir es hier mit einem normalen roten Lager zu tun - glatter Durchachnitt, nicht mehr, nicht weniger.

3.0 Golden bis kuperfarben mit wenig weißem Schaum. Süßes Karamell, malzig und im Abgang eine etwas unharmonische röstige Bittere. Torf oder gar Whisky kann ich hier nicht erkennen.

2.8 33 cl bottle at Merkur. Orange zest , caramel and malt flavour. Almost no whisky character in this beer

2.5 Nez: Malté, caramel Bouche: Maltée, caramel, légère astringence en fin de bouche Trop sucrée et aqueuse à mon goût.

2.8 Bottle. Amber body with white head. Aroma is malty sweet. Taste is malts and sweetness. Aftertaste is nearly the same but with hints of malts.. Its funny how taste changes years ago this was an extreme beer for me.

3.5 0,33l bottle. Nice beer and whisky collaberation.......................................

3.1 Bottle Aroma-malt, herbs Appearance-amber, clear, white foam, Taste-lightly sour, lightly bitter, light sweetness, Palate-medium body, creamy, average carbonation, long finish, Overall-good

2.7 Pours a clear amber golden color, topped with a medium sized white head. Aroma is malty with notes of caramel. Taste is sweet, malty, caramel presence. Light bitterness in the finish. Drinkable, not really bad, but lacks any evidence of whisky.

3.0 0,33l pullo from eurospar donaufelderstrasse Vienna. Kirkas kullanruskea. Tuoksussa makeaa mallasta, vähän viskiaromia, hiukan humalaa. Maussa rautaa, mallasta, hieman viskiä, humalan pieni purevuus.

2.7 0,33l bottle from Eurospar near Dückegasse. Pours clear orange with a medium head. Aroma is slightly sweet grassy malts with whisky aroma. Flavor is sweet malts, whisky and some hops. Decent.

2.7 Bottle at home. Pours golden color, white head. Aroma of caramel and malt. Taste is medium sweet, malty, caramel, alcohol hidden, no whiskey at all.

3.3 Aparência acobreada,límpida,espuma formou um colarinho médio,cremoso e duradouro;aroma suave de malte e caramelo,notas amadeiradas são percebidas a medida que a cerveja esquenta;sabor acompanha o aroma,mas com presença maior do defumado da turfa,final longo,doce e tostado,baixo amargor,corpo médio,boa drinkability,bom conjunto.

2.9 Aroma mediano, seco, malte sobressai. Boa aparência, bem consistente. Seca na boca, bem lupulada, lager típica. Uma boa cerveja para um dia quente. Nota 7.5.

3.4 Orange/light amber coloured and clear with a full white head. Malty, bready and sweet aroma. Notes of peach and in the background maybe a bit smoke. Taste is malty, nuts, biscuit, caramel. Full body. Good beer, but not very much reminding on a whisky.

2.6 330ml bottle from Saveur-Biere.com. Pours reddish amber. Sweetish caramel aroma. Taste unfortunately lacks the whisky malt flavours expected.. instead appearing rather dull with not a lot going on.

2.4 Reddish colour with tiny head. Aroma of caramel, some spices and malts. The same are flavours. Low carbonation and bitterness. An average beer.
