Got a tip from a friend about something that sounded too awesome to be true and today I tried it.
Innis & Gunn. A beer that taste like beer and whisky. Don't know if I like it yet but it's different alright. I think I'll have a couple more before I decide...
come back and post again when you're good and drunk so we can all have a laugh
I love good beer and good whisky, but trying to combine the two just doesn't seem like something that would produce anything worthwhile, even under the best of circumstances. Beer should be beer and whisky should be whisky.

Small chance. Posted here and on way many other places when drunk.
Besides people don't usually laugh in those circumstances, they get mad.

It's beer. It's aged in oak caskets. That's why it taste like whisky I guess. Anyway I'm kinda starting to get a taste for it.
(Homer voice) "Mmmm. Oak taste beer."

No that would be: "I'm fine I tell you!"

Ah, I see. Come to think of it, I have heard of this before (at least the storing of beer in old whisky caskets to soak up some of the flavor). Still seems a bit odd to me, but I suppose if someone really knew what they were doing they could get some decent enough beer out of it (provided they're actually trying to make good beer, and not just doing it as a gimmick).

I would call it an Ale. By that I'm going with the taste. Sweet , "round" and thick/complex. And yeah. It definitely taste like whisky. The whisky taste is mostly in the smell and aftertaste.

Import for everyone that's not in Scotland. Don't think there's a good chance to find something like this anywhere else. ;)
I was kinda thinking of making a lab experiment. xD

You get something tasty let me know. Then you have one buyer and can go almost international from the start. All you need is a asian buyer then you're worldwide!
I have a cousin whos been talking about making beer. HAvnt really planned anything concrete. But ill tell him about this maybe he will get more motivated.

My next-door neighbour's son actually runs the company. We keep getting loads of free bottles of the stuff.
