cheers mate but there are no roast malts in there at all, its all in the smoke malt and candi sugar. bit upset about the carb level, but ill get over it.11. Barls- Smoked Belgian Dark Strong
Pours dark brown with a reddy hue. Head dissipates quickly. Off white almost tan. Looks to have low carb. Smoke malt aroma, bacon, bbq etc. Not over powering. Belgian phenolics peaking through. Pear, some stone fruit and caramel sweetness.
Heaps going on on palate. Smoke upfront and a heap of phenolics. Packs a punch upfront but finishes quite subdued. Lingering bitterness driven by phenolics balanced by a fair body revealing sweetness.
Carb very low almost real ale territory. A little roast chocolate also apparent. The low carb works well in the big beer making it far too easy to drink.
