Left hand Brewery night at Three Cellars, Milwaukee. Easily the best smoked brew I have had. I got the hint of smoke upfront but it left as the flavors hit the tongue. Aside from the “smoked” was a darn good Doppelbock. The mix was very well balanced. Nothing over done.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottled. Slightly hazy and deep golden coloured with a medium sized head. Quite well balanced with notes of caramel, bread, citrus, hay and also has a hint of smoke. Very nice.

Jul 21, 2008 Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of cereal, roasted and nutty, light herbs and earth for the hops and yeast, and very light notes of date, red wine, smoke and wood. Head is fizzy, white with no lacing and is fully diminishing. the first pour is clear burgandy, then clouds up a bit on the following pours. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a fizzy carbonation. A decent beer, it just didn’t have the depth of flavor and aroma I expected.

Jul 12, 2008 This poured a brownish color with a small tan head.The nose was smoky, malty, and bacony.Yum! This was close to having bacon beer in a glass.Lots of smoke up front with some malts and bacon, smokiness to finish it off.

Jul 7, 2008 Updated: Jul 10, 2008Bottled, 0.7 liter. Brown coloured, firm head. Strong smoky nose, malts, really nice. Flavour is somewhat disappointing though, malts, some smoke, but not a whole lot more. Relatively thin mouthfeel. I’ll stick to the German stuff.

Aroma – Big aroma lots of malts and the smokey aroma was lingering quite nice.
Appearance – Brown in color, light head clear.
Flavor – Smoked malts was the flavor. Huge malt flavor with very little backing this beer up. Some hops and fruitiness to follow.
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, Very good texture with a good dry finish.
Overall – This was a nice beer. I was expecting this to have more of a Smokey flavor. Was a tad disappointed and also amazed at this big beer. Too much cost for this beer.
