4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
On tap at Vintage Estates. Now THIS is a smoked beer! Aroma was huge and smoky. Pour was a medium brown with a one finger off white head. Taste was perfect (for me anyway). All smoky goodness with some roasted malt peeking through slightly. Carbonation was huge...biting at the cheeks deliciously. All around near perfect beer.

tap at Blind Tiger for EDA’s B-day party - wasn’t expecting this to be rated so lowly... thought it has a nice sweet base, lightly hopped and light smoke that you sort of get used to as you get into it and as the beer warms up. Thought the balance was pretty good.

draft @ redlight redlight. Smokey caramelly nose. Pours a golden amber with a thin white head. Peat smoke, tobacco, caramelly malts, and spicy hops. Pretty good i could use a little bit more smoke, but its very enjoyable.

On tap at Barcade, Brooklyn. It pours an amber colour with light carbonation and a very thin beige head. The nose is smoke, caramel, orange and honey. The taste is tangy orange, orange blossom, apricot, mango, wood, resin, caramel and honey, with some light smoke towards the finish. The balance of flavour is pretty good. Decent smoked beer.

Draft pint at Anthony’s in Harrisburg. Clear orange-gold with a small head. Nose is light smoke, grain and caramel. Flavor is the same. Light-medium body is an easy drinker. Much better with the smoked peat, than the bottle of regular Railbender I tried years ago.

On tap for growler fills at Half Time. Pours a clear golden orange with a thin white to beige head. Smoke, sweet malt and caramel. Toasty and sweet with a nice hint of smoke, and a bit of caramel. Sweet and smoky, but the smoke goes away briefly in the middle. Returns at the end a little. A bit too sweet overall.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap, @ ABE airport. Pours a clear dark copper body with a one finger fizzy off-white head that fell to a wispy film. Very light smoke on the nose with some caramel and toasted malts. The quality of the smoke is decent though. The flavor is a little thin with light campfire smokiness and a slightly sweet toasted maltiness. Finishes like there’s some crystal malt in there cause I’m getting that iced tea and brown sugar note that I don’t care for. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a little stickiness on the finish. Moderate soft carbonation. Not the best, but at least there’s a little smoke.

Tallahassee, Fl - Momo’s Pizza - on tap. Dark amber colored pour, glinty, with an off-white bubbly head. Aroma is of fresh smoked meat. Crisp flavor with hints of smoked salmon, peat, wee bit of tobacco juice and a slight bit of fruitness. Finish has a touch f band aid flavor to it. Mouthfeel is crisp and sharp. Not bad at all.
