On draft at the brewery. Pours deep amber/brown, very thin head that disappears. The smoke is the dominating character. There is a subtle bready malt tone throughout this beer. Not bad, I still am struggling with smoked beers.

On tap at Desert Edge
Appearance: Clear dark brown with a medium sized beige head and good lacing
Aroma: Smoked meat, toasted malts and nutty
Taste: Toasted malts, smoked nuts, grainy and ashy
Nice, smoky but not overpowering

UPDATED: FEB 26, 2008 On tap at the Brewpub. Pours a dark amber/brown with a nice light brown head. The aroma is heavy smoke and jerky, also some burnt malts. The taste is mostly a smooth and fairly sweet brown ale with a heavy smoke aspect; burnt malts, some sweet brown sugar, and a meaty smoked aspect that may or may not taste like a smog/dust filled Winter inversion in the Valley. Awesome! Utah is really doing a great job, keep it up.
