Bottle picked up by Jude in Iceland, (cheers Jude!). Consumed at home Friday 23rd November 2018 Pours black with a large tan head. Not picking up much smokiness here but it's good, a little black Treacle, bonfire toffee and roasted malt. Perhaps I do get some light smoked touches after all. Good. A7 P4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

750ml bottle at Farees'. Pours an almost black with a tan head. Aroma is very smoky, inky. Similar taste. Smoke beer lovers will definitely adore it, but it is not my case.

Flasa z letiska. Vona udena alkoholova. Farba kavova, pena ziadna. Chut zacina sladko nastupuje udena a ide az do vyraznej horkosti s primesou alkoholu. Na konci ostava..
