UPDATED: NOV 24, 2011 Smokey aroma, like burnt wood. With amber color and thick head. Yeasty-smoky-bready flavor. First smoked beer i’ve tried. But i think i will have to try it one more time to be 100% sure about my ratings....

Scopey (1178) - Croydon, Surrey, ENGLAND - NOV 1, 2011
Keg at Craft Brewery, Athens. It pours amber, with a thick yellow-white head. The nose is smoke, bonfire, burnt firewood, bbq and bacon. The taste is brown bread, yeast toasted malt, light metal, only a light smokiness, wood, earth and manure. Light to medium body and fairly high carbonation. Smells great, but taste doesn’t quite live up to it.

Davros (918) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - AUG 26, 2011
Pours amber with a short-lived, sudsy head. Nose shows some smoke with bacon characters, along with light fruity hops, bready malt and a soft cooked vegetable note. Flavours continue along those lines: bready, grainy malt with cardboard character, campfire smoke and a light fruity lilt towards the end. Very watery body. I prefer more sweet malt in my smoke beers.

meerbier (826) - Pijnacker, NETHERLANDS - JUL 19, 2011
Bottle@Hotel. Lots of smoke in the aroma, unexpected I must say, nice. Dark yellow/golden, off-white head, good lace. Light sweet, lots of smoke, bitter, light fruity. Medium body, dry-ish. Flavourful, balanced, well brewed.
