Bottle - thanks Homer! Pours inky black, small ephemeral dark brown head, dissipates quickly to minimal retention and a bit of lacing. Aroma is rich, chocolate, roasty, light smoke, oak. Flavor is light plus sweet, full bitter, initial chocolate leading to oak, cigarettes, dark roasted malts. Full body, strong lingering bitterness, creamy mouthfeel.Too much bitterness...

Sampled at the brewery. Aroma is burnt sugar, toasted oak, caramel and mild nuts. Body is the leaner side of medium. The alcohol shows itself over the flavors but not harsh. I enjoyed the flavor, lots of caramel, dark fruit, sryupy texture that is cut by the barrel.
