On keg at Brewdog Edinburgh. Appearance - opaque black with an olive sheen. Thin attractive fawn head. Nose - peat fire thing going on. The slightest hint of chocolate and toffee. Taste - smoke again, very strong. Dry burnt finish. Any other stout characteristics are competely smothered by the smoke though. Palate - close to medium bodied with smoke throughout and this makes the finish particularly dry. Overall - ok.

Keg at Brewdog Edinburgh. Pours opaque dark brown with a thin beige head. Strong smoke aromas, ash, peat fire. Taste is smoky, burnt rubber (but in a good way). Light chocolate beneath all the smoke. Intense.

Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 27/2/2017. Dark brown in colour, with a moderately-sized, off-white, head. Charred malts, sweet dark berry fruits and plain chocolate, leading to a smoky finish. Fine.

Gravicask, 1/3 pint at Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Beige, bubbly head over a coal brown-black body. Clingy lacing. Peaty nose. Smoked malty flavours with a touch of jam. Fine roasted bitter endnotes. Pretty nice, just a bit unvaried. (15.02.2017).

Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. A muddy, peaty brown colour with a light caramel head; the aroma is of light wood smoke, slightly muted and refined compared with what is to follow; in the mouth itโs really smoky and savoury, in a smoky bacon crisp kind of way, the smoke is quite acrid but is balanced by a sweet lactic body with some fruity coffee flavours; then a dry finish with more smoke, that swirls around the mouth and totally destroys the palette. One to save until the end of a session, but only if you are a fan of smoked beers.
