Bottled@PBF2012. HAzy amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is smoked wet wood, leather, sweet malts and yeast. Flavour is quite similar in with mild fruity and floral notes. A bit out of the balance as for the flavour.

Bottle. I feel bad because I really wanted to like this one. Pours hazy brown, minimal off-white head and no lacing. Aroma is mildly smoky roasted malt, woody, gluestick (this last came from my girlfriend, but it is accurate). Taste is oddly acidic, lightly smoky, roasted malt, and an unidentified chemical flavor that slowly fades as the beer sits. Watery and a bit fizzy in the mouth.
