A deep dak porter with a thin receeding moka head. A wonderful chocolate and peat aroma, with warming alcohol. In porter, a rich bitter chocolate with smokedness blending in perfectly, toasted and intense, some herbal notes. Rich and lingering. An excellent porter. Merci RH.

Thanks to Glouglouburp for this bottle at bctc 07 trade. This was the last of 5 smoked beers for the night. Pours black-hole black with a small off-white head. Aroma is strong, starts with a rich fumy chocolate (think rich expensive dark chocolate). Then followed by hints of smoke and the way your hair smells after slaving over a charcoal grill all day long. Taste is very bitter-roasted-end-of-espresso, amplified. Some very mineral-like smoke. Yet it’s a pretty quaffable beer with hints of sweetness wrapped around a long bitter finish. No hint of alcohol. Basically, it’s a very rich chocolate beer with hints of smoke, how much cooler can you get. 341ml bottle, Hobgoblin tulip glass

Bottle: Poured a deep pitch-black color porter with a medium brown foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of smoked malt is well balance with some rich roasted malt with hint of sweetness. Taste of smoked is very well balance with some rich and creamy lightly bitter roasted malt. Body is really full with a creamy texture and some medium carbonation. I am really impressed by this one since I generally don’t like smoked beers.

Pitch black color, med-brown head. Caramel, dark chocolate smokey nose. Actually not as over powering as I suspected. Full bodied, smokey mouth, dark chocolate, dark cherries. Rich. Kick ass lingering smokey finish. Awesome stuff.

Murky dark brown colour. Aroma is quite smoky with a thick fudge maltiness. Big and chewy, with lots of alcohol and a strong roast component. Dash of alcohol late. Not terribly cohesive...certainly next to the singular flavour of a rauchbier.
