Pours jet black, no foam. Scent is rough and raw, burnt malts, oak, bit of whiskey but not too boozy at all. Pretty sharp impressions, not as silky or smooth as hoped. to the dry side, especially on todays market - with an oilyness of burnt malts to it. Sharp and a tad ashy, whisky doesn't sit well zith the beer, remains on top without blending in nicely. Not too boozy at all, that is a smooth aspect for sure in this one, but the basebeer seems way to underwhelming for a BA project. Going towards acidic, not by infection, but by the PH drop from the roasted malts. OK. Drinkable and no major errors here, just lacks a bit of balance, and goes in a direction I don't personally enjoy that much.
