The 22 ounce bottle poured a clear, deep reddish amber colored beverage with a small creamy white head that was fully lasting and left good lacing on the glass. The aroma reminded me of sunset at the beach sitting around a driftwood fire with friends. It had that seawater dampened smoke and ash character. The body was medium-full with smooth carbonation and a creamy, smooth texture. The flavor started off full of smoke with a strange sweetness to it. The finish was long and although the intensity of the smoke died down a bit it never went away.

Frisco Grille (Rogue Wave Weekend) - Murky rust, thin light tan creamy head. Fantastic aroma of sweet smokey bacon, campfire, wood, and touches of citrus. Well balanced flavor tones of all the above with smoke dominating from start to finish. Rivals Schlenkerla for the smokiest I have encountered. For me it works. Those without a taste for rauchbiers beers need not apply. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bittersweet, smokey finish. Great beer for sipping with b-b-que...

This was very smokey as it should be, but the balance was not as defined as in say, a rauchbier. I think the bottle I tried was a bit old as well, since the beer poured with an overly carbonated head. I will have to try it again sometime.

Tap. If the goal was to make a beer that tastes like smoke, then mission accomplished. Not that special. At times a little gross. Smells like beef jerky, leaves a taste in your mouth as if you have smoked. I will probably chalk this up as a once in a life time experience.

copper brown color with a light tan head. The aroma has pepper and some citrus and malt. I taste some smoked beef sticks in the flavor along with some peppery spice. Also some lemon and malt. This is not bad at all. Feels creamy in the mouth. Has some interesting flavor and it has a bite, but remains smooth.

Pours a hazy brown with nice lacings. Aromas of smoke and sausages and bacon. Very malty. Quite full. slightly bitter finish.

Bottle. Amber color with small head. OK. This is very very good. A bit sweet and malty. Nice level of "smokeyness". I really enjoyed it.
