3.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Smells like a nice single malt. Muddled brown colour. Very strong smoky flavour with a touch of spice. Very unique beer! Nice.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Reddish brown color, light tan foamy small head, smoky aroma, slightly bitter burnt coffee flavor, medium carbonation, long finish. A likeable beer.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A reddish copper ale with a thin moka head. Predominating butterscotch aroma, with herbal notes, wood extract in finale. In mouth, a good smokyness with fusel, wood extract, sweet caramel malt, a bit thin but good. On tap at C’est What, May 21 2011.

550ml draught
5.4% ABV
I tried this beer on draught on May 5, 2011 at "C’est What" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent dark reddish-brown with a thin tad head, and absolutely no lacing. The aroma was sweet malt, some smoke, and some nutty hints. The aroma was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was roasted malt, coffee, smoked wood, and a slightly sweet finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep amber pour with a thin white head. The aroma is assertively smoked with a nice hickory smoke aroma over a rich, but well-attenuated malt base. A little bit of crackery flavour on the back as well. Softly spicy on the finish with just a kiss of light fruit as well. It’s pretty nice really. Sessionable and fairly nice stuff.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at C’est What? Appearance: Ruby red with a whispy white head. Aroma: rusty iron, smoke, lots of malt, a little peat too. Flavour: smokey, a nice amount of peat, thin body but a decent tangy iron finish. Nice.

Have to agree with the last review - I didn’t find it terribly smoky at all! There was smoke in there to be sure, but it was merely a supporting actor to a pleasant enough brown ale. The fennel too was a little too far in the background. Excellent balance like most of their stuff.

On tap@C’est What Fall Fest.
Aroma is coffee and malt, mahogany, tiny tan head. Taste is roasted malt, hard candies. Light bodied, sweet, yet bitter. Good, but smoked?
