Very dark coloured, smoothish smoked porter, although the grittiness of its smokiness does negate the former to an extent. It's a good smokiness though, mild ham notes, open-fire inhalation comparisons. Interesting without a wow factor. .

Bottled. A dark brown beer with a red shine under a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of malt, smoke, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, peated smoke, and caramel as well as a light acidity from the roasted malt, leading to a dry bitter finish.
