On tap @ brewery. I was told this is a smoked stout. Dark brown coloured beer with a nice beige head. Aroma gives away malts, not really roasted, faint caramel. Very nice taste, very subtle smoked taste, sweet malts and a nice lingering roasted bitterness to finish. Very lovely beer, considering its abv, very well drinkable yet complex at the same time.

Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, chocolate, notes of licorice. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration.
