Notes

A fairly aggressive braggot, not so much due to the ABV as the smoke, dryness and Belgian yeast. The flavor is quite full, but without the caramel or syrup flavors that can come with dark beers.

Liked by most who have tried it so far (one single exception), would recommend. I'm working on a followup.
