What is it I'm tasting in this beer and how do I get it? I just had a glass of it and I love the flavor, but can't even describe what I'm tasting in it. Anyone know what it is?

Send a dozen bottles down this way and I'll try to figure it out for you
Their website says it uses peated, pale, crystal, and munich. I'm guessing its the peated that is new to you. I regret not putting any peated in my Scottish Ale, but I certainly will be next time around!

That's gotta be it. I never gave peated malt much though. Peat is what you store european mummies in. It's bog muck. Never sounded appealing to me in beer, but I may have to take a second look.

My opinion is that 4 oz of peated malt is a bit high. I have used 2oz before and had a really smokey beer.
It also could be that I was too sensitive to it. However, I do like the smoked porters I have had, and love the Full Sail Keelhauler ale. My Scottish ale with 2oz seemed much stronger than those commercial beers.
From what I understand is that peat can be real strong and it is not really strong in the beer. I would start with 1oz and work my way up to 2oz. It will be much easier to drink your mistake if the peat flavor is weaker then stronger.
