Now why do people have to smoke in a fucking brew pub! I’m having a great tasting -- the brewer here served up samples correctly in wine glasses! -- and this smoker sits down and lights up. OK, now across the room with samples... roasty and bitter cocoa, soft, some paler malt sweetness, low effervescence, good thicker creamy feel.
