Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Dark reddish brown color with tan head. Sweet, smoky, earthy and leathery aroma. Bittersweet flavor with firm roastiness, strong earthy-leathery smokiness as well as notes of coffee and licorice. Tarry, earthy and smoky finish. Very robust smoke beer.

750ml - Aroma is very smokey. Salty meat, burnt malts and some chocolate. Pours black with a huge brown fluffy head and great lacing. Flavor is campfire, burnt malts, coffee, crispy bacon, chocolate and a touch of hops. Palate is creamy and dry. Not for the faint of heart, this beer has teeth. I like it.

Bottle. Poured a dark black with a thin tan head. Aroma of smoke with roasted malt and coffee notes. Flavor is meaty. Medium body with mild carbonation.

Corked and caged 750ml courtesy of RustyChiles. Pours a pitch black with a half finger tan head and spotty lacing. Nose is very smoky. It has a smoked meat smell to it which is cool. Some burnt malt and coffee going on too. Taste is smoked bacon, baby back ribs with sauce, burnt dark chocolate and campfire coffee. Medium creamy mouth feel. I like it – not as much as the Alaskan Smoked Porter, but it’s still a good smoked. Thanks Rusty!

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 15 Sep 2008) Black colour with ruby light when seen through light. Frothy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose witn distinct notes of smoke. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, dark fruit, dark rye bread, nuts and a dry smokey finish. Smoke dominates the aroma more than the flavour, that is more complex. Medium to full body, smooth mouthfeel. Mainly dry. Alcohol hardly evident at all. Lovely beer!
