bottled up
1 1litre PET
33 X 500ML

so ad a try it tastes very smokey

[NobbyIPA]

tried one tonight this won't last long
it turned out fantastic
ultra smokey
and lovely and simcoey

that smokey bacon aroma from the mashing has evolved into a dark smoke flavour fantastic

in my top 5 brews will certainly brew again

pricey that weyermann rauch malt though but well worth it
and the colour matches what you would expect it to taste like really creamy too
