28 April 2018, at Zythos Bierfestival. Deputy Taster: Anke.
Hazy black with a small, foamy, tan head. Aroma of smoked malt, peat, earth, rubber, dark fruits, cigar ash. It tastes medium malty & chocolatey sweet and light to medium roasted bitter, with a peaty back, a bit umami (bacon & beef stock). Shortish, roasted finish, lingering peat, well-hidden whisky alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. A bit one-sided and unrefined; this could have been even better!
