Keg at Craft. Pitch black colour with dark beige, almost brown head. Quite oily and slick in the mouth. Aroma is smoky, coffee bitter, with roasted malt. Also a bit of bacon. Taste is nice and roasted, and tasty bitter. Bit of dark chocolate. Smoke comes through in the taste too. Full on in the mouth. Lovely.
Bottle. Malt, chocolate, caramel and smoke in the aroma. Malty sweetish flavor, pushing back the smoke just a bit. Malty sweet finish.

Bij Maakun, fles via Sterk Amsterdam. Foamy smokey biatch. Backlog from 2015/07/12.
Dark pour with very high carbonation, producing a thick lacing that lasts throughout the tasting. Smells like burnt wood, bacon and oranges (??). Medium body, made a bit rough by the high carbonation; fruit bitterness, chocolate and dark cherries, and a moderate amount of alcohol.

Cmoked, tar, wet stone, sausage taste. Smoked, ashtray aftertaste. Medium, almost a bit thin mouthfeel, medium low bitterness.
0.355 l bottle from Hoppiness, Koper, Slovenia. Black with small beige head. Whiskey barrel, wood, not really smoky aroma. Alcohol present. Ash, smoked ham, smoked wood in mouth, bitter. Drinkable, light to medium body, but always roasty smoky presence in the background to the finish.
Thanks Hrabren! Shared with him, Ogivlado and Anja T. Almost black, tinged with amber perhaps, beige aroma. Mandarin aroma, slgihtly tart, covering lovely notes of bacon, full, genuinely lovely. Mild taste, bacon, roasty, sticky molasses, but dry, again mixing with lovely light herbal-mandarin aroma. Very, very drinkable. Roasty notes. Extremely well hidden alcohol, wow, this is extremely well crafted. Very light tasting for the ABV. Too light to be 4+ but still great.
Bottle @ Van Moll. Black colour, small off-white head. Smells roasty, salty, liquorice, salmiakki. Tastes liquorice, roasty, coal, ash. Full body, soft carbo.
