Bottle ordered via Amazon. Aroma is sweet and boozy. Christmas pudding. Clear light chestnut. Practically no head. Medium bitter with a sour edge. Woody. Hints of berry sweetness. Bitterness peaks into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Again, these beers seem overwhelmed by the cask. Basic bass barrel aged stuff.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma is liquorice, some alcohol, mild dried fruits and some slight spiciness. Flavour is chocolate, roast, some dried fruits and ashes with mild herbal and earthy tones. Lacks some oomph.

Bottle ordered from some sellers on Amazon. Aroma has dried fruit and booze. Before getting sweeter and fruiter like me on beer. Opaque amber gold. Creamy white head soon recedes. After the decent aroma the flava is I think reminiscent of the other one I had from these guts. Boozy vegetable soup and cardboard. To be fair, it does gathe4 some sugary sweetness. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long finish. Saved by the sugariness into the finish. No wonder this lit went bust.

Bottle ordered on Amazon. Aroma is boozy, with dark fruit, resin and boiled veg. Clear chestnut. Thin off-white head retreats to the rim. Initial bitter boozy hit. Follow by some fruity sweetness. And then it's all shoved adidee by smoky peat with added cardboard. Medium bodied. Slick. Slightly sticky. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long finish. I did not have high expectations and just wanted the region tick so on that level the beer did not disappoint. However it's pretty rank. I don't know if they do environmentally friendly ashtrays that are made of cardboard but I would imagine it's like licking one of those. And I like Smoked beers.
