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.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This was a great smoked ale! The aroma was super smoky with lots of bacon, sausage, and hickory. I loved it! A good smoked is like a meal on its own!
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.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught. At 2009 C’est What Fall festival. Perhaps my favorite new-to-me beer of the festival, but that’s not saying all that much. Slightly hazy deep reddish-brown pour with a good creamy beige cap. Smoky bacon aroma, roasty, a little sweet. Very smoky flavour - campfire, hickory cured bacon, bitter ash, some lactic table cream ... thick creamy mouthfeel, with a smoky minerally aftertaste - I liked it quite a bit; bacon? WIN!
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at C’est What - came a clear dark brown with a thin off-white head that soon diminished but laced neatly. Aroma chocolaty and lightly smoked. Perhaps a very mildly herbal character, but that might have been because I was looking for it. Flavour much more full of smoke, nice malts, a touch of hop bitterness to keep everything in check. Body sliiiiiightly thin, but not to the overall detriment of the beer. Nice sessionable smoked. Good one.
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.

On-tap at C’est What. A mildly smoked beer, that gives a nice smell.Lacey. With fennel. Understated carbonation
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at C’est What’s ’Fall Festival of Craft Breweries’. Pours a dark amber-brown with a small lasting creamy off-white head. Aroma: Smoke? I didn’t expect that! Smoke, lightly roasted dark malt and some sweetness. Flavour’s really smoky along with dark malt and cream. Average bodied. Enjoyable, if you like smokey beers, which I do.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours very dark dark amber-brown. Aroma of licorice and very muted smokyness, roasted malt. Okay... Disappointed.
