2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draught @ Borefts 12. Slightly unclear copper color, small to medium sized a bit creamy off-white head. Smell malts and heavely peated or smoked or both, almost like fingerpaint I used as a kid. Damn I hate that smell. Taste is slightly better, but here also the fingerpaint-resembling peat / smoke comes through. Low to medium body, medium carbonation. Not my thing at all.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap @ Borefts 2012. The pour’s deep amber with a small head. The nose is smoked ham, soft honey comb, smooth dark malt flavors and dried wood. The taste is more smokey ham, charred wood. Delicate herbal hop burn on the finish. Very smooth, nicely executed. Not my favorite collection of flavors (smoke), but good for what it is.
