Day 12 of the 2018 Advent calendar.
Funky label. The beer is a lovely dark brown color, clear and with some head that disipates rapidly.
There's caramel on the nose but I didn't get a ton of aroma.
Nice bitterness, not too harsh, and a slightly smoky finish. Not offputting by any means.
A unique flavor and one that I enjoyed.

330ml bottle - day 12 of the 2018 Craft Beer Advent Calendar. A 'Smoked Rye Scottish Ale', made in collaboration with fellow Dutch brewery Walhalla.
This beer pours a murky, dark orange-brick amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent layered cirrus cloud form lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser spicy rye character, some free-range ashiness, tame black stone fruit, and some weak earthy, musty, and dead floral noble hops. The taste is grainy and crackery caramel malt, a further rye edginess, wet char, bruised pome fruit, stale raisins, and more well-understated earthy, herbal, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-mollifying frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with perhaps a touch of oily smokiness creating a minor tremor here. It finishes trending dry, the roasted essence slowly edging out the lingering malt.
Overall - well, this certainly delivered on its promises, as already elucidated. It achieves a pleasant sort of balance, making it a proper quaff, when, baby, it is indeed cold outside. Worth checking out, is what I'm sayin'.
