3 week old pint can A: Clear molasses colored pour with 1/2 of tan foam. Good retention down to a thick lace ring. S: Light coffee and sweet chocolate. Also faint burnt toast, wood and toffee. T: Bitter coffee notes mingle with herbal hops then caramel and a smoky whiff of dry toast. No dark fruit to speak of though. M: Fairly light and clean with drying carbonation spritz but light stickiness. O: Tasty as it is tasteful, a very approachable dark rauch type beer.

On tap at Jack's Abby, pours a deep dark brown with a reddish tinge and a small beige head. Aroma brings out light smoke, with just a faint touch of peat. Flavour follows accordingly, with pleasant peaty smoke, German lager yeast sweetness and a touch of bready caramel. Nicely balanced with plenty of depth. Really good.
