Benzai (4444) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - FEB 12, 2013
50cl bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Hazy amber-red color, full sized beige head that lasts for a decent while and leaves good lacing. Don’t get much smoke in the aroma, but the flavor clearly has some smoke in it. Also taste some fruits, and lightly bitter. Not bad.

Leighton (7183) - London, ENGLAND - MAY 8, 2012
Cask at the Wandsworth Common Spring BF, London. Pours clear, red-gold with a fine, foamy head. Light caramel, smokey peat and ham in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with cured honey ham, smoked peat, wood. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lasting smokey peat on the finish with yet more cured ham, light honey and caramel. Very nice beer. One of the better British-made ’smoked’ beers I’ve had.
