The look was abit murky gray/brown with a small light brown head. Powerfull and overwhelming peated aroma, lovely! Bunfire charcoal and tar all the way. Ashy dry flavor with some light sour notes that im not sure were intentional. But they gave the beer some freshness. The flavor isnt as smoked as the aroma, but then again, the aroma was the most intense smoke aroma i’ve sniffed.
