Unibroue Raftman * * *

Unibroue Raftman 3 stars, I enjoyed this beer I was torn and almost gave it a 4 out of 5 stars.  Amie did not like the bitter after taste and would of given it a 2 or 3 stars.  I was not drinking it out of the correct glass but it was a Unibroue Trois Pistoles glass.  So I figured it was the beat I could do.  I enjoyed the Raftman and look forward to trying it again.

According to the back of the bottle.
"This full bodied beer brewed from delicately smoked whiskey malt, offers a subtle bouquet and a delicious lingering aftertaste.  Brewed in memory   of those bygone masters of the forests who were always amenable to settling their differences over a beer and a shot of whisky."
