Bottle thanks to Bgthang. This is from the recalled overcarbed batch. No gush on opening but pours a very lively brown with a medium tan head that needs a few minutes to calm down. Aroma is toast, thin vinous notes of oak and red fruits. Flavor is big toasted malts, thin peat and smoke with leather and tobacco in the finish. Nice complexity for its strength.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of spices, fruits, and flowers. The flavor is sweet with notes of phenols, malt, fruits, and flowers, leading to a dry and lightly bitter finish. The body is light.

750 ml bottle from Hopper. Pitch ebony black with a huge cinnamon brown head that did not hardly disapate at all in the 10 minutes before I sipped it. Nose is chocolate and very roasty coffee. Flavor is coffee, pepperiness, roast, bitterness, and chocolate. Finish is lightly bitter, roasted coffee.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with overflowing tan head. Nose/taste of caramel, fig and dry barley. Some off infection notes. Medium body. Would like to try another bottle to see if this was just an off one as I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the other beers I’ve had from them.
