Poured from a two-week old hand-filled and sealed can. Pours dark amber with a two-finger head that dissipates rapidly.
All aroma is slight: caramel, toffee, peat.
While the appearance and aroma likely suffered from the hand filling, the taste saves the day. The sip starts with big caramel, then toffee, some molasses, and peat smoke join in. Through the middle, the peat smoke shifts to earthy hop bitterness and slight nuttiness that lingers through the finish, blending well with the caramel sweetness. The aftertaste trends sweeter and sticky.
Low carb; another casualty of the packaging method. It has a slick feel that with the low carb makes this silky-smooth.
Overall, this suffered a bit from packaging but the taste is great. Not fully to style, but damn good to drink.

On tap at No BS Brewing in Lakeville, NY.
This one pours a medium dark amber color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells caramelly, with a touch of smoke.
I prefer a bit more malt richness in the style, but this isn’t overtly flawed like some of No BS’s beers. It’s caramelly, but I don’t that dense maltiness or pleasant sweetness I want out of the style.
This is medium bodied, slightly creamy, but finishes a little bit thin. It’s pretty drinkable.
This isn’t the best example of the style that you’ll have, but I didn’t dislike it.
