Bottle shared at Au Revoir Tokyo. Thanks Jonno! Pours motor oil black with a small head that lingers. Charred wood, squid ink umami and roasted cacao nib on the nose. The palate is quite roasty but with a soft, rounded mouthfeel. Finish is nice and almost peaty. Would slay with a cigar! --- Beer merged from original tick of Grease Monkey @dylanadmin1 on 17 Oct 2016 at 15:54 - Score: 8

Growler, 11C. Dark brown with a pale beige head that laces well and never disappears. Aroma of dark fruit, roasted malt, bread, peppery oak. 7+ Silky. Sweet with chocolate, bread, stewed fruit, grass, oak. The wood is not excessive but is not terribly well integrated into the palate - it rather jumps out at the end. Perhaps that would mellow in the bottle after a while. Drinks its weight but there is no integrated alcohol.

Pours very dark brown with small tan head.Nose shows woody oak, sweet bready malt, toasty melanoidin notes and toffee.Flavours include soft roast, sweet bready malt and woody oak.
