Bottle shared at Hunah Day. Pours a dark brown with small tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a strong smoke, pepper, faint tea. Medium body, the smoke in this overpowers everything else, not much tea just in your face smoke, not a fan.

Bottle. Pours opaque black, small tan head some lacing. Aroma is smoky, tea, roasty. Flavor is bbq, approaching meaty, tea, tobacco, roasty. Way way way more smoke than the base beer, which is odd. The intermingle between the smoke and tea is not bad, its just, perhaps a bit off-putting. Medium plus body.

Bottle: Pours black with a small, dark tan head. Deep, rich tobacco and wood smoke aroma. Taste is dark, earthy chocolate malt, tobacco.... Oily, woody and of course, tea... Amazing how well ATG harnesses these flavours and aromas in their beers... Brilliant.

Bottle. Smoky Lapsang Souchong tea, tobacco, leather, and chocolate aroma. Black brown with a small tan head. Smoky Lapsang Souchong tea and tart dark fruit flavor. Full body, soft caronation. Dry finish - most likely from the tea trannins. Lapsang is one of my favorite black teas, and this beer really delivers. If you’re a pipe smoker, you’ll probably think this smells exactly like Latakia tobacco.

Bottle. Strong Lapsang Souchong (smoke, tobacco/Latakia) and light dark chocolate malt aroma. Black with small head. Sweet Lapsang tea (smoke, pine, Latakia tobacco) and dark chocolate malt flavor. Tannic finish. Good but would depend on how much you like Lapsang Souchong.
