3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a very deep brown, almost black, with dark tan head, Aroma contains strong woody, smoky impressions with some dark fruity notes. Although the smokiness is potent in the taste as well, there is a good deal of chocolate flavors to balance it nicely. Very roasted in the taste, with a smoke aftertaste. Somewhat bitter as well. Medium bodied with a chewy texture and a good amount of carbonation. The high alcohol content hides itself well and isn’t really noticed. This one isn’t as extreme as some in this style. But it still contains enough smokiness for those that like that to be happy.

My first Icelandic beer.
Okay, big deal...
Very creamy and dark brown with a head that looked like a chocolate shake. Some smokiness in the aroma, but a lot of malt as well. A coffee taste with a bit too much residual sweetness and just a touch of bitterness. Then, right at the end of its lengthy aftertaste, I caught a touch of smokiness. Powerful stuff.

Thanx to my friend Mr. Yates for the bottle, we poured a viscous dark chocolate brown brew with velvety tan head with red tones. Aroma is sort of bacony, with milk chocolate and caramel. It’s incredibly smooth with some milk chocolate sweetness and mild roasty bitterness. GREAT brew, alcohol is well hidden and the flavors absolutely meld, however nothing is too pronounced.

Pours a dark brown with a minimal tan head. Smells of woodsmoke, chocolate, nuts, syrupy glaze. Taste is smoky, sweet, and bitter - chocolate, bacon, moderate hops. An excellent combination of smoked and stout styles.
