Bottle. Thanks Madsnp. Pours black with a small creamy head nad lacings. Roast, vanilla and coffee. Smooth and ashy. Nice one.

Bottle. Pours black with a big beige head. Aroma is soft, chocolate, oatlike, some bitter coffee. Not a lot of smoke. Flavour’s got smoke, however. Not massive, but quite a bit. Coffee, smoke, wood, liquorice, burnt notes, akin to whiskey barrel aged ales. Quite bitter in the finish. A wee bit thin, but this is good.

A 0.5L bottle from local K-market. Pale brown/beige head. Mild malty chocolatey nose. Dark black reddish colour. Soft coffeish and malty taste. Average hoppiness. Mild smokiness.

bottle, pours a very dark brown, nearing black, with a medium dark tan head. Roasted malt, molassis, and an assertive hoppiness in the nose. Roasted malt and a bitter bakers chocolate kind of body, some hop bitterness and a little hint of smoke lingering in the finish. Light carbonation, the beer is silky smooth and medium in body. Good brew.

I was immediately struck by then sheer beauty of this as i poured it, the head was a lovely coffee cremer colour with tightly packed bubbles. Coffee, milk chocolate ans a touch of smoke on the nose....could do with more smoke! palate is smooth with a touch of smoke again...there’s obviously no fire because there’s not much smoke! A good beer overall but a bit misleading on the label.

Cask EBF 2008. Dark brown color. Lightly smoked nose. Tobacco leaves and dark chocolate. Smoky, woody notes with dark chocolates and cherries. Lingering smokiness in the finish. Nice.
