Draught at the brewery
Strong smoke aroma, although different from Rauchbier or Lapsang Suchong, a bit cardboard-like and meaty. Dry mouthfeel, not much beer flavor, it has some chili hot touch, some tea tannins, paper and some smoke. Dry finish.
Had high expectations, but it turned out to be messy and below expectations.

On tap at Storm, pours a cloudy orangey yellow with a small beige head. Aroma is potent, full of smoke, black tea, and ash. Flavour is along the same lines, with loads of the Lapsang tea dominating, with its smoky and earthy flavours. Nice novelty beer, just can't drink much of this personally.
