Aw yea, another great smokey beer from FCB. This time the smokiness is much more evident in the aroma. Still huge smoke in the taste, backed up by a solid body. Looks like a regular copper colored lager, but this is way better.

The Smokin’ Lager poured a cloudy copper-red with a lot of tiny floating particulates. It had a huge light tan head the had great retention.

It’s aroma was caramel malt and smokiness.

It had a big sweet, caramel malt backbone with some smokiness on top and a smoky aftertaste. There was not as much smokiness as I was expecting, I think the Double Z was more pronounced from what I remember. It did have a nice balance between the sweet and smoke. It was a little on the thin side.

Overall, this was similar to a lot of FCB’s offerings (sweet and smoky and a little thin).
