Dark copper..clear.. bubbly thick white head... reasonable lacing
Aroma of soft caramel malts...light toffee...quite a bit of peat smoke
Taste - caramel malts..smoky...bit of bacon..some sweet dark malts...light bitter hops..peaty smoke...like Laphroaig..a little too much
Palate - soft carb.....thin to medium body. Finish of soft malt...light peaty smoke
Overall - Interesting brown beer with a bit of peaty smoke in the flavour

2010 edition. Not really a beer brewed to style. Brownish colour. Mellow chocolate aroma. Medium body. Chocolatey, slightly nutty character. A mellow, well-balanced beer roughly in the porter style.
