Saints Whisky Beer is the result of a partnership between two English 'saints': St. Peter's Brewery in Suffolk and St. Georges Distillery, 30 miles away in neighbouring Norfolk. The aptly named beer is produced using the same peated malt used at St. George's Distillery in its whisky production. Read more

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 23/09/2011

Appearance

Clear, burnished copper-amber with a lasting medium white head.

Aroma

Hickory wood smoked with obvious oaky whisky influence and vegetal, farmyard dung aromas.

Taste

Smoked whisky flavours meld well with classic English bitter malty hoppy ale. The farmyard dung found on the nose traverses the palate (in a good way).

Aftertaste

Smoky notes linger like a very smoky rasher of bacon.
