Bottled. A black beer with a red shine under a lazing tan head. The aroma has strong notes of smoke as well as medium notes of bacon and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet witih strong notes of smoke from beech wood, combined with medium notes of bacon, roasted malt, and alcohol, leading to a dry roasted finish. The alcohol tickles the tongue and palate. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle thanks to Paul, shared with others! Pours dark grown with a brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma has a nice combination of smoke, roasted malts and a slight dry wine note, nicely balanced. Flavor begins with roasted malt and becomes slightly smokey with a bit of a dry roasted finish.

Bottle thanks to Paul, shared with others! Pours a dark brown with a brown head that dissipated quickly to the edges. Aroma has a nice combination of smoked meat (ham) with a bourbon note and backing roasted dark grains. Flavor begins with roasted and smokey malts but has a growing bourbon note to help balance out the smokiness.

50cl bottle pours a watery, opaque brown with one ring of tan head. HUGE smokey aroma, bacon, charcoal, wood chips, smelled a little sweeter than the Cab barrel. Flavor is sweet, sugary, a touch smokier than the Cab barrel, bacon, toasted grains, more brown sugar. Full bodied, smokey finish with a touch of booze in the back of the throat. A little more balance, diversity of flavor. Marginally better than the Cab barrel.
