Bottle sample at a tasting at Max's place. Thanks Stas. Black, tan foam. Lots of peated whiskey, chocolate, roast, soy sauce, sweetish and a bit umami, roast, alcohol. Too peated for my liking.

Black with lasting thick head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of leather and earthiness. Full bodied. Slightly oily.

Zwart bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitter met in het begin erg veel rook wat later wat aangenamer wordt. Licht zoet met iets van koffie en vanille maar uiteindelijk overheerst de rooksmaak iets te veel vind ik. Ik ben wat minder enthousiast dan eerdere recensisten omdat de rooksmaak iets te veel overheerst.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Dark brown to black color, medium sized light brown colored head. Aroma is malts, peat, some soft roast. Flavor is similar: malts, moderately roasty, peat, fingerpaint I used as a kid, iodine, lightly bitter only. Decent body, quite low carbonation. Hmm no not a fan.

Bottle @ benzai. Sweet, peat, fingerpaint. I can't enjoy this. Rough barrel aging. I feel like they've made a mediocre stout and they threw it in a barrel just because that's the thing people do in 2017/2018.
