Appearance: complete and utter darkness, below a tight ring of dark brown foam.
Aroma: yeah, it's smokey, and yeah, it's peaty. with dark malt, cocoa, caramel, and coffee lingering just below. A little charcoal, a hint of anise.
Taste: all of that and more. Full-bodied. Rich, and just a little roasty. Dry mouthfeel, arid texture. Smoke and peat coat the character. A most interesting ale, this one. I could ask this beer to be more of this or less of that, but then it wouldn't be what it is.
I can say for certainty that I've never had a peat smoked porter before, that's for sure. (Also, many times I've heard the remark about this brewery, "aren't they the ones who smoke every beer?" Not true, I tell them all. In fact, on this visit only half of the beers were smoked.)
