BrewDogging #22; Paradox Smokehead
Smokehead is one of the few Islay single malts that I've never got around to trying. On the strength of this beer, aged in Smokehead casks, I'm going to have to investigate further. Sweet and smokey, clods of peat have burned out and left traces smeared across a palate stretched by supple caramel. A roastier body than other Paradoxes, it's a lean finish but one that's still sustained with wisps of smoke and chocolate.
Ok, that's more like it. I bought three of these to taste with the whisky nuts in the office. I'm hoping one of them has some Smokehead for a side-by-side tasting. :)
