Draught@CBC2015. More or less black colour with a small brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, some wood, mild peated notes as well as some slight liquorice and alcohol. Flavour is very similar with the peated notes coming in stronger. Still in a quite nice balance.

CBC Green Session. Keg. Opaque black - brown beer, small tan head. Palate is airy. Dark chocolate malts. Massive peat. Crisp finish. A total peat fest and it’s too much for me, peat fans will enjoy.
