Aroma of smoke, malt, some oak, sherry, hint of plums, dried fruits, hint of vanilla. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a light bittersweet finish. I wouldn’t say this is a Barley Wine, but whatever it is it’s definitely a good Smoked beer.

Medium, rather dense tan head over nearly black brown beer. Strong smoked nose, smoked ham, phenolic, bit salty, horseblanket. Smoked, roasted, but qutie sweet. Just a bit metallic-rusty-bitterish lining in the finish, but the sweetness remains. Some phenols. Feels quite well-carbonated. Bit porridge-like feeling, well-bodied, light alcoholwarmng. Sweet, thick Rauch.

(Draught at Craft & Draft, Amsterdam, 16 Sep 2016) Dark brown colour, almost black, with foamy off-white head. Malty, smoky nose with smoked ham, dark fruit and black rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with notes of smoked ham, chocolate, black rye bread and a balanced roasty bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Fairly sweet and quite smoky, but tasty and well made. Nice one.
