You are looking for a craft beer that is either a smoked bourbon cask aged stout or a peat smoked ale with smoked oak chips in the boil.

It will still be nothing like a scotch, but it will impart a smokey whiskey hint to the beer.

Enjoy!

beer and scotch really don’t have any flavor similarites… but you can try to find a smoked beer, which might have some of the earthy tones that most schotch whiskys have

The best bet would be a hefeweizen. Since you need a comparison between the finishes of the two, many hefe’s carry a phenolic note the result of 4-vinyl guaiacol. But this is a clove flavor and not the banana and ginger notes you get the this Scotch. Therefore, you might chose a wit beer. It has the added spice notes of coriander and orange.
[Wait some wheats do have a banana note from (yes, yeast) amyl acetate).]

I think it would be interesting to age one of these wheat beers in wood and specifically whisky wood.
