Bottle, 0.33l at Hoppiness Beer Stop. Pours hazy deep ruby brown color with thin creamy tan-like head. Aroma of smoke, nuts, caramel and peppers. Taste starts with sweet malt and smoked ham, following is spicy, salty, fruity, herbal and honeyish, while mouthfeel is warming alcoholic with mild bitter finish. Full body, syrupy texture and soft carbonation in palate. Very complex beer with plethora of different tastes, maybe a bit too sophisticated to be a companion of vegan kebab :)

Bottle. Red copper color, no head. Strong aroma of smokey bacon, spices and bandaid. Taste of smoke, bacon, mild chili, malt, raisin and caramel. Strange, but quite tasty.

Thanks for sharing! Sampled @ Leuven Innovation Beer Festival. Dark red amber, little bubbles. Nose is huge burning wood & meaty smoked, oily & Lapsang Souchong tea. Taste is big oily Lapsang Souchong with bergamot, meaty, oddly sweet & oily, hay, sweet malts, brown sugar, candy,… Not very balanced,… Very oily but interesting & pleasant beer, could have been even better.

330 ml bottle. Pours a deep red/brown with tall head. Aromas of smoke and toffee. Flavors of sweet caramel syrup and hickory smoke. Not normally a fan of smoked beers but this one works really well.

Very good, fine & dense mango head over clear amberish red beer. Smoked, phenolic and indeed chipotle in the nose. Sharp, hot malt, paprika,... a real assault - but in a good way. Sweet, light fruity, veggie and obviously paprika/chili. Hot, burning MF, medium bodied, alcoholwarming. Amazing. Like it... but I certainly wouldn’t want a pint of this.
