330mL can, pours an opaque, filthy dark brown with a large beige head. Aroma is fairly filthy and earthy, with earthy hops, muddled soil, and some roast. Flavour is muddled, with lots of dirty soil-like notes, earthy hops, and roasted malt. Highly bitter in the harshly astringent sense; there's some redeeming character, but it's a filthy, astringent, haphazardly balanced beer. Needs a lot of work. C'mon, �gir, you can do better than this.

Tap @ Brewdog Reykjavik. Dark brown pour, some lighter beige or brownish bubbles on the top. Malty smoked grains in the nose, some fresher hops alao there. Taste has hop bitterness attacking your taste sensors first, then some grainy roast bitterness and somewhat grassy hops following. Bitter aftertaste, total hop linger. I do like this, better than I thought.
