The brethren provideth. Dark Cola brown. No light. Bubbly translucent white head soon sticks to the rim. Aroma is smoky with caramel and a cherry sourness. Sour. Smoky. Cacao. More wood smoke. Kinda acrid. Some underlying sweet caramel makes a late rally. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft lazily fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. I don't mind a smoked beer but this one is just too acrid. I don't find the bitter smoky streak overly pleasent.
