500ml bottle, from trade with AshtonMcCobb. Many thanks. Pours murky brown, thin off-white head. Aroma is smoky bacon, malt, caramel. Taste is smooth, smoked malts.. not getting a lot of Juniper, I guess that’s open to interpretation. I do love a nice smoked beer tho, and this hits the spot

Almost clear amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry with good fine carbonation. Sweet caramel malts and sweet bubblegum ester. Trace of apple. Fair dose of smoke. More esters in the dry finish. Clunky and not very palatable.
