Bright pale amber, with a medium head. Rich beech smoke aroma. Sweet malts, too, but they have some bubblegum phenols, so off a bit. But yeah, there is a lot of beech smoke. It dominates the peat. For all the sweetness there is a fair bit of bitterness, too. It's a weird one, but this smoke whore isn't really into it.

Taster (ordered by mistake, darn) at the brewery. Appearence: clear golden with a white head Aroma: smoke, peat, rubber Taste: pretty similar with with some fruitiness Overall: considering how I don't like smoke and peat this one is a total disaster for me. If you like such flavors - you will love this.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy golden colour. Strong aroma of smoke and white bread. It has a good malt base, crisp, bready, crusty, chewy, with huge smoke character, a lot of peat too.
I like it because of the excessive smoke, but also the rest is good.
