3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap: Pours a hazy deep amber mahogany with a stringy-lacing off-white head. Has a good smoky complexity in the nose with some ginger and woodiness. Starts with a thinner body and not much sweetness with some citrus tartness before a drier smoky finish. Not sure if the vinous acidity was intended, but it clashes with the smoky character.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very strong smoke smell and very strong smoke smell. The overall taste is good but could be too much for some.

Draft at Churchkey. Brown, white head, solid lacing. Aroma of charred bacon. Taste of slightly sour charred grapefruit. Interesting.
1.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Draft. Muddy beige head, dark amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, wood smoke, light ash. taste is medium sweet, sour, light caramel. Low carbonation, light-medium body. I don’t know what happened to this beer, but it was a disaster.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Tap at Churchkey. The pour is a very ugly unfiltered dirty apple juice color sort of like translucent, deep muddy russet. A cask looking, creamy, tan head gently subsides with big, sheety lace. Nose is all old apple juice with some mild smoked ham. Taste is old apple juice with tannic red apple skins. Weak in palate- comes across as cardboardy and watery. Very poor showing.
