big smokey nose. Well balanced mouth, smoke is not as strong in the nose. Subtle lingering smokey finish.

Draught at Craft Beer Live, Namba May 23, 2010. Pitch black with not a single bubble or bit of foam at all. Completely flat. Very roasty aroma with coffee and a bit of smoke, not super smokey, but some bacon in there. A little bit light in the palate, quite burnt and roasty, a little bit of smoky bacon, coffee. Ok, tasty, but not a whole lot of smoke. Seems experimental and not quite perfected. Bitterness from the roasted grains is a bit too extreme, a bit too much. This could be quite interesting if they get the carbonation right and get a bit more body in there. Looking forward to a re-rate.
