Bottle. Pours very dark, almost pitch black, with hardly any head. Leaves a few foamy bubbles around the edge. Aroma- creamy chocolate, roasty bitterness, milky coffee, oatiness. Really nice smelling. Taste is lots of coffee and chocolate, big roastiness, creamy, almost smoky, chocolate-covered fruit and nut, lots of espresso in the finish. Very impressive.

Bottle at The Ale House, Chelmsford. Billed as a ’Hybrid American Amber’, it pours a deep amber colour with a fairly large white head. Lovely hoppy aroma akin to American Pale Ale with caramel, malt and fruit. Very smooth, with a bittersweet finish. Slightly creamy texture, average/right carbonation, medium body. Much enjoyed.

330ml bottle from Glug, Newcastle. Wow. What an apt name for a beer - almost took my head off. Pours mahogany reddish brown, huge abrasive bitter flavours with a teasing sweetness. Concentrated toffee and orange peel appear mirage-like before the bitterness takes over once more, bombarding you alongside a heavy ABV.

Chestnut brown color, huge beige head, lace. Grassy, old pipe tobacco aroma, when warming up, some "fermentation gases". Light-bodied. Grassy hoppyness, some caramalt, tobacco/ashy-smokeyness. A bit restless combination. Smokey - yes, smoke bomb - no.

330ml bottle from beer hive. Cloudy yellow orange pour lots of gunk in the bottle. Orange and light tropical fruit on the aroma, good malt backbone on the taste. Not bad at all.

Bottled (from AbM!). Hazy deep brown colour, with a mediumsized slightly off-white head. Aroma is mild smoked and toasted wood along with some caramel, mild ripe fruitiness as well as some leathery notes. Flavour is mild smoked and toasted wood along with some toffee and caramel to it. Mellow and quite refreshing. Still not that much a smoke bomb as such...
