Appearance: 4/5
Very dark hazy amber liquid with a light beige foam that left a thick lacing.

Smell: 5/10
Very smell, noted some spices and smoke.

Taste: 6/10
Smoke was the most dominant, but also some roasted notes and bread.

Mouthfeel: 4/5
Smooth and creamy mouthfeel with a medium thick body and low carbonation.

Comment:
My first thought was a Scottish ale with smoked malt or a fairly mild smoked ale. But the style is set as Brown Ale. Ah well lets settle it as an English style ale with a distinct smoky flavour. A fairly easy to drink ale with a low carbonation.

I tried this with some salty snakes and it was a decent combo. But it worked allot better with some chocolate, not a perfect match but the chocolate actually improved the beer slightly. So this might work best after dinner with a couple of pieces of chocolate. Don't think this beer would work with a full on dessert.

I usually love Dugges beers but this feels slightly below average for the brewery. That Im still giving it a 3/5 is a testament to the quality of beer from this brewery.
