On tap at the Smokehouse. Brownish golden beer with a thin khaki head. Some peat, green hops, and sour wet grains in the nose. Very smooth drinking beer. Malty sweetness, burnt sugar, tangy grain tea with some smokiness and a strong hop resin finish. The hops lay on the tongue for quite a while after drinking.

Draft sample at Smokehouse. Poured clear dark copper color with an avereage frothy off-white head that mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Medium aroma of toasted malt. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium dark toasted sweet malt flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Good drinkable brew.

On draught at Barley’s Smokehouse. The beer pours a clear dark orange-amber with a thin off-white head that dissipates to an outer ring. Vertical columbus of lacing on the glass. Malty aroma with hoppy spikes. Medium, smooth body with flavors of caramel malt and raw hops. Touches of ripe fruit as well. The finish is sweet and malty but leaves a bitter aftertaste. A different take on their flagship MacLenny’s, and a decent brew overall.

From the Firkin. Dark orange/brown color with a beige head. Aroma of malts and some fruit. Flavor of malt and english hops. Finish is very hoppy.

On tap at the Smokehouse. Clear amber pour with a medium tan head. Malty aroma with a bit of metal and bitter hops. Super malty flavor with hints of strawberry and caramel before a semi-dry finish.
