750 ml bottle shared at the Beer Download table at DLD- thanks, everyone! Pours a deep brown color, mostly opaque, with a tan ring for a head. Mellow smoke throughout, with dark chocolate, roasted malts, dark fruits (plums, raisins), and earth. Medium-full bodied, with low carbonation and a rich, smoky mouthfeel. Nicely done smoked imperial stout.

This collaboration pours a jet black with a thin head. I was expecting a bit more smoke from this one but I do get a certain wood note underneath the Bruery Imperial Stout. Some dark coffee notes in there as well.

Tap at the tasting room. Pours a deep black with mild tan head. Aroma is roasted to burnt coffee beans, toffee and some other various sweetness. Taste is like a burnt marshmallow with some stale coffee beans. The sweetness comes in to finish it off otherwise. Too much smoke.

4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
A medium coffee aroma, with a fair amount of smok that lasts. This is quite smokey, which is its best characteristic. Easily the thickest beer available at Bruey, even including the special ones. And thankfully the coffee isn’t too much.

Bottle at home with friends. Pour is deep brown, almost black with a frothy brown head and good lacing. Smoky, light raisins, toffee, chocolate, red wine, oaky, campfire, and coffee in the aroma. Taste is roasty, bready, big dark chocolate covered plums, somewhat ashy, firewood, and light spruce notes. Think mouthfeel with soft carbonation. The smoke isn’t overwhelming and its really well-balanced. Nice stout.
