Pours a dark brown, verging on black, with small, tan head. Aroma is smoke. Flavor is smoke, some burnt toast, some roasted grain, maybe a touch of dark fruit. Smooth mouthfeel.

Draught at the brewery, 4/7/22. Clear, dark, ashen-mahogany with a small, neat, dark beige head showing modest retention. Nose is softly, but very enjoyable smokey, though it's the more easygoing smoked malt, not the bacon and/or iodine variety. Chocolate, raisin, prune and soft vanilla with mild roast and no booze or flaw. Soft, richly malty and delightfully smokey with just enough sweetness to comfort the palate without getting too sweet. Lots of prune and raisin as there should be, with smokey dryness and a touch of drying alcohol on the finish.
