Draft at the brewpub. Poured a dark brown-red color. Head was thick and tan with good retention and lacing. Attractive and unique aroma of smoked malt, chocolate, and flowery hops. Dry and roasty on the tongue with a smoky burnt stick note up front that strengthened toward the end. The accompanying roasted malt and delicate hop flavors made this a really good beer.
