Served on draft at the taphouse. Pours a clear copper color with a creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of earthy notes, toffee malts and a fruity finish. The taste is toffee, earthy notes, berries and something a little bit off. I suspect it might be the taplines more than the beer itself. Medium bodied, average carbonation, pretty solid other than that off-flavor, which is sad, because that was all keeping me from REALLY liking this beer.

Pours clean ruby brown with one finger of sandy tan head. Nose is malt forward with a lightly smokey character and dextrinous caramel-y quality. Malty/dextrinous flavor with notes of caramel and raisiny sweetness. Toasted grain and spicy alcohol. Nice. Medium body.

Pour is as expected. Caramel, toffee and light peat. Flavor is much of the same hints of chocolate. Slick finish. Smokey tease I wanted more SmOkE
