Draft at GABF 11. Someone finally had the details on this one. Pours a deep brown with a tan head. Nose offers some odd smokey notes that are interesting. Strong notes of honey and some cocoa. Hint of toffee. Clean overall. On tasting, quite sweet, perhaps underfermented here. The sweetness is almost cloying, even with some balancing smoke. Meh.

draft ’11, pours black tan head. nose of honey smoked ham brown sugar, floral. flavors are sweet and smokey ham, toffee. not bad.

On tap at GABF, poured dark brownish red with a nice off white head, aroma gave notes of hazelnut, toffee, some slight honey and floral notes along with a slight nutty character. Taste was pretty sweet but the floral notes of the honey brought it back, notes of dry toast, some nuts, caramel and deep toffee rounded it out. Nicely done.
