Consumer alongside islay cask scotch Dark brown to black one finger head Huge peat with a brisket stew nose. Nice blend of smoke, soy sauce / teriyaki with a hint of chocolate. Not very complex. Still, an interesting beer

Chuckaduck (490) - Kentucky, USA - MAY 12, 2013
Bottle to snifter. Best by 9/8/10. Consumed 5/12/13. Pours an opaque dark brown with a fluffy, bubbly beige head. Aroma is smoke, peat, chocolate, dark fruit, spicy, soy. Taste is camp fire, char, soy, barbecue, wood, molasses. Lots of smoke. Beautiful, dense lacing. Medium low carbonation. Rich, thick mouth feel. I really dig this. Not as aggressive as I had expected; some nice subtle elements here. highly flavorful and fragrant. Really nice.

11.2 Fl Oz. Bottle. Pours black, medium tan head, decent lacing. Aroma is quite smokey some malts, and I think some dark fruit. Taste is also very smokey, perhaps sweet with some malts and some whiskey notes.It’s good but it is also a sipper.
