From tap. Pours pitch black with a lacing chocolate brown head. Mild smoked and chocolate malty aroma. Flavour starts chocolate malty yet quickly turn into a more solid smoked base flavour. Lingering hard roasted malty and chocolate finish with a nice smoke note into the far finish.

Draught@EBF2008. Pitch black colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is smoke, malts, tar, licorice and vanilla. Also some slight wooden notes as well as some dark dried fruits. Also a sting of alcohol as it warms up. Flavour is roasted malts, smoked wood, alcohol, vanilla and some slight fruityness too. All in a very nice balance. Got even better the more it warmed up. Probably my favourite beer of the festival, so I drank loads of it....

UPDATED: OCT 1, 2008 Draught at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. Transparently black, minimal head. Smokey tarry nose. Densely malty, a bit slimmer than expected with fairly clean mouthfeel. Streamlined but with interesting flavor combinations of bacon, tar and licorice. A beer with attitude.
