3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured a light amber color at the brewery, aromas of ligt cedar, smoke, and some malt. Reminded me of an open humidor that was open for too long. Flavors are light smoke and spicy cedar. While I didnot like the regular smoked version of this, the cedar added to this made it 100 times better.

On draft at Cigar City. Pours a nice clear amber color with a white head. Nose is some smoke, some light earth, roast, smoke, band aid, and light meat (I can see where the bacon smell comes from). Flavor is similar with some nice malt behind it, light wood, light earth, meat, and band aid. Very nice and well-balanced twist on this lager. Medium in body and lingering smoke and malt.

On tap at the brewery. Nose is big smoke and cedar, with bacon. Pour is brown with a white head. Flavors match up with tons of smoke, ash, cedar, and bacon. Very nice.

Pours amber. Nose is a good amount of smoke, cedar spice, soft malt. Flavor is perfectly smoked, soft bacon and char, ash, cedar spice, earthy malts. Incredibly easy drinking smoked beer. Crushed it!
