Bottle. A- Soy sauce, mild smoke, ash, cocoa. A- Black color, black liquid, light brown head. T- Soy, smoke, char, cocoa, mild bitterness. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Pleasantly surprised by this one. Filled with smoke and soy but it was very nuanced and balanced. Nothing overpowered and it was certainly far from a smoked beer but those flavors managed to stand out in a subtle way. Nicely done.

O- Good for what it is although I'm starting to think this isn't my favorite style. Lots of yeast and spices. Hoenstly felt more like a tripel than bier de garde.
