Sampled on 5/12/2010. This smoked beer pours a medium brown color from the tap. Small sized white foamy head, with decent retention. The aroma is slightly sweet and caramel, smoky and fruity. A medium bodied smoked beer. The malts are fruity and sweet, a bunch of smoke and a touch of peat. The hops are earthy and floral. There is a lot of smoked flavor in this beer, it’s not in your face smoky, but it sort of lingers and pervades everything, sort of like smoke. There is slightly touch of bitterness at the finish. Hides the alcohol very well. A very soft and mellow smoked beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. The finish is clean and smooth. The aftertaste is slightly sweet with a nice touch of smoke.
