Clear dark red brown color with a large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, beige head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy malty, roasted, chocolate notes moderate to light heavy peat, cask wood, rubber - burnt rubber notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Very nice smoked IMO. ;o)) (050808)

Bottle at Monk’s Café, Stockholm
Dark brown color; too much carbonation. It has the aroma of a Stout, with a shade of smoked malt. Medium to thin body, with chocolate and roasted malt flavor, very light smoked touch and very light sourness. It’s 95% Stout and 5% Smoked. I took it because I like Smoked beers, but this one doesn’t deserve much attention.
