16oz flip-top bottle from the brewery.

LOOK: Pitch black, amazing showing of lace on the glass

SMELL: Roasted grain, mildly smoky, faint molasses, lightly spicy, hint of alcohol

TASTE: Smooth & creamy, firm medium body, espresso roastiness, burnt sugar, faint licorice root, kiss of smoke, mildly acrid, ample hop bitterness, semi-dry roasty finish

A little all over the place but flavors mesh together well, very well balanced and a treat to drink.

This was a different beer for sure. An ipa with peat smoked malts, 12yo single malt Scotch and aged in Oak barrels? Sign me up.

While I give them credit for being unique, this didn't really come together as well as I had hoped. I'm not a huge smoked beer fan so going into this I was a bit skeptical. The Scotch notes were the prevailing taste and fought the hopiness of the beer. I did enjoy this but would rather the base beer have been something more on the malt forward side.
