Draft at GABF. Pours an attractive pale copper with a fluffy head. Nose is smoke forward, soft, lightly phenolic with a hint of clove, but otherwise clean. Nice maltiness in balance with the meaty notes. On tasting, quite fresh and crisp, good smoke content and flavorful. More of the meatiness and a good balance of bready malts. Nice beer.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear medium orange color. The head was thin and tan. Campfire and bacon aromas with a whiff of caramel. Light to medium bodied and a little sweet, particularly at the end. Smoke and light caramel flavors.

draft at RBC. pours murky caramel with off white head. aroma as a nice beechwood smokey presence, sweet toasty malts. flavors have smoke and sweet caramelly finish. good smoke character, just a tad too sweet to be really something special.
