Interestingly, I feel like I get more from that one toasted marshmallow (some really nice burnt sugar character) than from the cacao nibs and vanilla (although I'm sure I'd miss them if they weren't there). I'm enjoying the smoke level despite thinking that nearly 30% seems high for smoked malt percentage. Super-drinkable with a fairly dry finish considering the OG. Enjoyed this, thanks.

Coincidentally, I had another smokey beer just before this one (Propeller spark)... I liked yours more. Nicely balanced. I feel like I would've liked it just a little boozier. Quite enjoyable.

Love this beer! Tasty and complex, rich in flavour. Surprising how toasted marshmallow and cacao nibs add to the roastiness. How long did you roast the nibs?
Also, I am inspired by your use of honey malt. I have a lot of honey malt but have not used it after being disappointed by it. I am going wto re-visted some of my recipes and throw some in.
Well done.

this one was a shock to the system... I'm trying to catch up on the advent beers so I've just been grabbing them out of the fridge at random without looking at the corresponding recipe - I wasn't quite prepared for that much smoked malt
I found it mellowed out nicely as it warmed up a little - is that normal for a smoked beer?
