On tap at the ChurchKey, DC. A thin light tan head on a near black body. A big rich nose with smoke, ripe berries, a touch of cream caramel and booze. The smoked malt leads the taste profile, with toffee, some bitter coffee, dark berries and that boozy warmth. A very dense rich body. Taste thins out relatively quickly though.

Old rating from 27-07-15 - 330ml bottle brought back from my trip to Iceland, poured carefully, but there is still a massive foamy head. Golden orange in colour with a white head that eventually settles down. Aromas of caramel & malt. Tastes of caramel and strong alcohol, not very well hidden. Feels overly carbonated, might explain some of the excessive foamy head. Passable, not something I'd have regularly.

Jet black pour, mocha head. Big aroma of smoke, bacon and roasted malt. The flavor is very roasty, loads of roasted burnt malt, some smoky bacon and soy. Light bitter finisj with more smoke. Pretty interesting stuff. Very intriguing brewery.

Nice nose of fresh citrusy hops, fresh cut grass, and some light wheat. Flavor was more hops, and a great wheaty malt finish. Really interesting, i really enjoyed it.

Bottle at the hotel, Reykjavik. Aroma of toasted malt, lots of caramel, red berries, soft herbal note, hops. Flavour is moderate sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Slightly sticky. Heavier than you?d expect for the ABV. Good Red Ale.

On tap at Micro Bar, Reykjavik. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, lots of sweet chocolate, smoke, some liquorice. Flavour is medium sweet with a light bittersweet finish. Not the heaviest Imperial Stout, but it’s smooth and complex with a subtle but effective smokey touch.
