Bottle from a gift box - many thanks to mom & dad for bringing it & to the brewer for gifting it! Pours hazy dark brown with a lasting, small, foamy, tan head; some lacing. Aroma of smoked sausage, bacon, tobacco, charcoal, wood, earth, faint rubber. Taste is light to medium malty sweet, hints of chocolate & nuts revolving around a smoky core of peat, tobacco & sausage, releasing umami accents, with a soft roasted & slightly herbal bitter undercurrent. Lingering smokiness in the dry, earthy hoppy finish, more peat, toast & woody nuttiness, and a subtle dash of warming peated whisky alcohol. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Aroma may be somewhat one-sided but the taste combines the best of both worlds. Enjoyed!
