Pours a dark brown, smells of dark malt and smoke. Tastes like chocolate malt, smoked peat, and a whiff of burnt sugar caramel malts. Medium body and just enough Kent Goldings leave you refreshed after the roast and the smoke, ready for more of this redolant brew. Carbonation is appropriately lower than most American beers, about two volumes (2V). The finish is thankfully much dryer than most wee heavies. Doesn't get bogged down in crystal malts or toasted malts like its European cousins, and employs a stronger use of roasted malt. Reminds me of the American interpretation of this style of Devil's Canyon Full Boar, but the malt profile of this beer is much tastier. Unlike Full Boar, this beer has no astringency, and a full and round malt flavor due to Marris Otter.
