Draught Thick greige head with lace over jet-black beer. Sweet, vanilla² (not Bourbon!), bit nutty (cocoa), tonka beans, maple. Mildly smoked flavour, pipe tobacco/ashes, finish is almost bitter with a vanilla mildering. Candle wax, stearine. Very thick, chewy, viscous, alcoholwarming. Good carbonation. Way, wààày better than feared from the ingredients description.

Pours black, small tanned head. Smell is intense bacon indeed. Mildly smokey. Mild cocoa. Taste is full, sweet, intense, coco, bacon, smoke is mild, barbecue like. Fleshy for sure. Thick, roasty, chocolat. Not half as bad as I had feared. Smokey, but not as in a rauchbeer. Think of bbq'd pork ribs or bacon. Not bad at all.
