Bottle from the brewery
Black color, frothy head. Very nice aroma, campfire, smoke, ashes, dark chocolate. Lean body, dark chocolate and some ashes, with a malt fruity touch in the background, moderate smoke, and more smoke in the final.
Good.

650ml bottle at Brian's office. Pours a very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is very smoky, roasted malt, mazut notes. Similar taste with huge totally burnt malt aftertaste. Burnt malt bomb.

Bottle - Earthy, smoke and dark roast. Deep dark brown with a small light beige head. Dark roast, dark bitter chocolate and some campfire. A little thin and not really that Smokey.

Bottle, Steamworks Liquor Store. Very dark brown, with a dark brown head. Aroma is campfire embers, and rich chocolate syrup. On the palate, a striking bitterness surprises me, then it gets smokey, bit ashy though, as opposed to really silky nice smoke. The chocolate is more of a bitter type, earthy, and a touch husky. That sort of ashy character continues through. Just when you want it to finish with a big hit of decadent chocolate, it thins out.

On tap at Strathcona, pours black with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of toasted malt, a little cola and a hint of smoke. Flavour is a little more pronounced on the smoke, with a nice dry toasted malt backbone, with a little dry cocoa powder. Crisp finish, with just a hint of the smokiness coming through. Nicely structured, but not overly exciting.
