Bottle shared at home, courtesy of Michiel. Black pour with a tan head. I’m a sucker for peated stouts so this one worked pretty good for me, it might be a tad lacking in complexity, but is sure makes up for it in overall fun-level. Nice peaty chocolate all around, creamy, thick, tasty.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is strong peated whisky, iodine, smoked bacon, ash, roasted malt, touch of liquorice, tar, chocolate. Flavour is moderate sweet and pretty bitter, alcohol in the finish. Body is medium. Very peated and boozy, black tar.

Very thin. Plenty of barrel going on here, maybe a bit too much to get the balance right. Luckily it's a delicious barrel. Some meaty sweetness, very peaty. Flavourwise it's nice, but that body and balance are just AWOL.
