Split a 12oz bottle. Poured a dark amber color, small off-white head. Aroma was smoke, roasted and slightly toasted. Earthy. Flavor is smoky, with notes of earth. A bit sweet. Perhaps not my most favorite brew, but interesting enough that I’m not disappointed I tried it.

Bottle (trade with arkurzynski - huge thanks). Campfire smoke and sweet rye malt aroma. Amber color with moderate head. Sweet citrusy rye malt with moderate smokiness. Mildly bitter herbal hops finish. Nicely blended. Probably the sweetest smoked beer I’ve had but works well.

Dark amber in color, clear with a thin head. Deep smoked aroma light rye malt and some hops. The flavor was thick with smoke and rye malt. This was a super tasty beer.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Courtesy of northernbrews. Brilliant copper, minimal head. Aroma and flavor dominated by smoke, in a good way. Fatty/meaty, much like my smoker after some pork butts. Very woody, some sweetness and spicy rye through the finish, help to balance a bit. Very clean. Medium body and mouthfeel. While the smoke dominates, this is really nice. Another solid offering from NG.

Lovely beer. Amber hazy pour with compact head. Smoky nose with sweet rye and caraway seen. Flavor is the same, with a smooth finish. Very good to sip and enjoy.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a nice dark amber with a thin tan head. Aroma has immediate notable smoke...a bit of a band aid aroma...and a bit of underlying roasty earthiness. Flavor follows suit...still some of that band aid flavor from the smoked malt...also a brief sweetness I can place...slightly cloying. Mouthfeel is slightly sticky but lively and the finish is dry and smoky/hoppy.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
bottle pours light brown with a thin off white head that fades quickly but leaves a steady film the length of the glass. Aroma is big cherry wood, smoke, salt pork, peat. Flavor is sweet molassis up front with big waves of wood and smoke layered in with pepper and peat that lingers in the finish with the smoke. Very nice smoked beer!
