Bottle from Beer52. Dark brown with a thin beige head. Smoke obvious from the off with light salt and a little caramel then. Liquorice and blackcurrant follow, then ham, soy sauce, a little gravy and a mild burnt note. Finishes dry and salty. A very interesting brew; I liked the beer, and also liked the obscure Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy references on the bottle.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - opaque brown to black with a nice lacy head. Nose - salt and molasses. General burnt bread notes. Taste - liquorice, salt and more burnt bread. Palate - medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a long dry crunchy finish. Overall - good beer. A bit gnarly but the rewards for taking on the challenge are great.

33cl bottle from Beer52.com. An opaque, peaty black colour with no head, but moderate carbonation; aroma of chocolate malt and some mild smoke; quite lively on the tongue with a bitter taste and a thin, milky, chocolate malt body and some gentle smoke; then a unpleasantly salty aftertaste. I was expecting more body and some caramel to offset the salt, but sadly it’s not there - an interesting idea that doesn’t work for me.
