The pour from the bottle was surprisingly thin and carbonated for an 8.4% stout. Body is a mild black with only trace, mocha coloured, creamy head. Scent is very smokey, a sort of peat smoke. Beneath this is a tiny sweetness from the malt. Mouthfeel is thin and light with moderate carbonation. Taste is intense smoke, the smokiness drowns everything else, if there is anything else. It's like sitting by a peat fire and drinking the smoke. I'm not a huge fan of smoky beer and this is probably the smokiest of smoky beers. I couldn't finish this unfortunately.
