330ml bottle. Jet black colour with minimally late awakening, small, creamy, fading, tan head. Relatively weak, chocolately, dark malty, caramel malty and smoky malty aroma, hints of smoked wood, smoked eel, some dark caramel, a touch of toffee, bacon wrapped smoked plum, weak Bourbon BA overtones, whiffs of chipotle. Taste is slightly BA supported, sweet-ish, caramel malty, slightly chocolately and roasty, dark malty as well as mildly smoky malty, notes of dark caramel, some Bourbon, toffee, a touch of smoked wood, bacon wrapped smoked plum, chipotle; minimally warming, alcoholic finish.
Viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, soft to flat carbonation.
Nice composition, harmonious and homogeneous, seemingly light - very nice, "fast" sipper.

On tap at WBF 2025, pours black a small tan head. Aroma is full of smoke, cheap rye, and alcohol. Flavour is much better, with plenty of smoke, cheap rye, light sugars, and toasted malt. Smoky, alcoholic, and somewhat perfumey. Very good.

On tap at Warsaw Beer Festival 2025. Pours nearly black with a beige head. Ashy smoke and roasted malts on the nose. Flavour has dry woody smoke and rich roasted malts, some burnt dark sugars. Finishes on the rough and boozy side. Still very nice.
