Хорошее пиво, у пивовара конечно точно есть свой стиль и это копченость, но её как по мне тут немного с излишком. Эта копченость слегка перебивает другие нотки типо карамели и бочки.

Cans from House Of Trembling Madness and Against The Grain. Two of only 800 cans. Dark brown body with a tan head that slowly fades. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of dark chocolate, coconut and mashed strawberry. Flavour of liquorice, strawberry syrup and blueberry with a faint whisky note. Full body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is ridiculously good - it justifies the expensive price. The barrel influence is quite subtle in this, and I’m delighted to see there’s no lactose, which I usually find leads to overly sweet beers. Love the description on the can. Potential best beer of 2026 for me.

Хороший стаут в целом, есть шоколад и кофе. Конечно сильная копченость и дымка слегка удивляет. Она неплохая даже, просто с ней слеганца переборщили.
