Sample at CBC. Pours nice heavy. Odd brew, bacon smokeyness, grease, saltyness and actualy kind of meaty. Also licorice and chili. A perfect festival brew, nothing you want more than a few sips of...

Draught @ CBC’15
Aroma has licorice, whisky, some peaty tones and some chili notes. Flavour has rubbery notes, strong peaty tones, stinging whiskey and mild herbal notes. Finishes with mild lingering chili tones that grow stronger towards the end of the glass. Whisky is very strong here. Unusual but nice.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; dark opaque brown pour with a thin tan head, some phenols and sweet malt in the aroma, taste has mellow smoke, plain chocolate, some sweetness, assertive chilli kick in the background, vanilla slightly showing itself, thought I’d hate this from the aroma, but I enjoyed, especially when it reached room temperature.
