Sample at the brewpub. Pours black with amber around the edges. Medium tan head that dissipates steadily, and stringy lacing. Smoked meat aroma with notes of malt. Medium body with a strong smoke character with flavors of peat malt and dark chocolate. The finish is all smoked malt. Overall a fairly good crack at the style, but is a little too on the smokey side for my tastes.
