- Light gold
- Nose
- Strong and sweet peat.
- Body
- Tickles the tongue and humors the mouth, scrapes the throat's front and oils its back.
- Palate
- Tangy and sticky heat, a cool campfire in your mouth.
- Finish
- The last tendrils of firesmoke lingering in your head.
For the early morn, both nightcap and waking bell, bring the Beist to bed tonight.

- Color
- A deep amber
- Nose
- Cristmas medicine to restore the memories.
- Body
- Warms the mouth a bit, not too tingly.
- Palate
- Sweet deep down, a candy cane liqueur.
- Finish
- It makes your throat happy for a while before bidding you adieu.
A warming dram for a snowy day and a good companion the year through. Perhaps the good life isn't so far away after all.

- A small fire at a naked wood furniture factory. Just a touch of varnish.
- Body
- As a tiny tingle grows to pinpricks midtongue, the sinuses fill with mellow smoke. Goes down smooth and sure like a Southern belle.
- Palate
- Peat to spare and a nice tart subplot.
- Finish
- The warm taste, slight at first, grows to its potential.
A nip of the bog dew in your bivouac just as the fire goes out and the morning fog rolls in. Either that or brilliant merchandising from the Liquid Smoke people.
