You can’t escape the long arm of the law, especially when you witness it’s seedy underbelly. All outward appearances point to a classic robust porter. However, it’s seething with complex rye and beechwood smoked malt additions that’ll have ya shaking in yer boots. Rich chocolate and espresso notes meld incredibly well with the earthy and spicy character of rye that negotiates a good cop/bad cop kind of shakedown. There’s also a lingering background of smooth, almost savoury smokiness providing a unique depth of flavour. Just try and talk your way out of it. What we have here is total disrespect for the law!.

Very nice although a little more carbonation for this style would have been nice. Limited smoke so don't let that scare you oof. I could take more and others less, so a good palate pleaser perhaps. Keep it up Bench Bosses, you Rock!!

473ml can - the first release in their Villainous Series. I presume that the label theme is from Smokey and the Bandit?
This beer pours a clear, very dark brown colour, with four fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy beige head, which leaves some amorphous blob pattern lace around the glass as it quickly books it outta town.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, a bit of spicy rye graininess, some free-range char, bittersweet cocoa powder, an oily nuttiness, subtle cafe-au-lait, and very tame earthy, herbal, and floral green hops. The taste is semi-sweet chocolate, roasted and grainy caramel malt, a lesser rye astringency, day-old coffee, bar-top nuts, a further damp ashiness, and more understated earthy, leafy, and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its lackadaisical frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a wee bit around here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt and mocha essences predominating.
Overall - this is one heady and rich porter-drinking experience, with flavour abounding. The smoked part of the equation is actually rather subdued, which just adds to the betterment of the whole. Definitely worth checking out, and I am already anticipating the next in the series.
