Growler from the brewery. Perhaps my favorite smoked beer from Troubles End yet. Really pleasant crisp hop balance. Perfectly clean body, no flabby sweetness, well attenuated and delicious. The oyster tone is mild but there, accentuating the smoked malt tones with a mellow rustic salty seaside note. Really well executed. Awesome beer.
