Bottling introduced a haze, which, while not unattractive, is a bit of disappointment to me, having seen the crystal-clear pale blond hue of the beer as it left secondary.
Carbonation is mild, which imparts a soft, smooth mouthfeel. More carb would have made the smoke become too harsh, I think.
As it is now, it's decidedly smokey beer, with some phenolics from the peat and juniper, but hugely drinkable, provided you enjoy smoke, peat and juniper in your beer.
Thus far, zero tasters have spat it out whilst cursing my penchant for peat malt.
Lovely beer, which I'll definitely brew again.
Only thing I'll probably leave out next time is the Lacto. Not picking that up at all. I reckon the poor critters never really had a chance.
