Bottle via trade with GlasgowTad, shared at Leighton’s 20K. It pours dark brown / near black with a small tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, plenty of smoke, leather, charred wood, tar, vanilla, smoked meat, tobacco, rocky road, bonfire and bacon frazzles. The taste is rich roasted malt, leather, smoke, charred wood, rocky road, bonfire, toast, vanilla, tar, cocoa, tannin, wood, quite drying, tar and bacon frazzles with a warming finish. Medium - full body and fine carbonation. I wasn’t expecting the smokey character, but thinks it works well. Rather tasty stuff overall. Didn’t disappoint.
