Brown with a off-white head. Smoke/BBQ smell that was quite strange. Taste was a combination of sweet and smoke. Good beer but, don’t plan on drinking it again.

Smelled thick and candy like (a heavy candy, and sweet stink), with bubble gum hints and a wee bit of smoke. the taste was thick, pungent malt. the finish was like inhaling a beachwood fire. i was hoping it’d have a little bit more smoke. on the bright side this wasnt saturated with hops. kudos for the restraint.

Sampled at Brew Ha Ha 2004. Cloudy brown with a huge off-white head. Smoked malt (duh) and peat aroma is striking. Slight sweetness detected before the smokiness overpowers the flavor. Tough on the palate, though, as the smokiness can quicky become overbearing. A difficult style for me to rate.

Bottle: Poured a clear light brown beer with a medium bubbly off-white head with average retention. Aroma is comprised of subtle smoke and some malt, I was expecting a bit more smoke but I’m not complaining since smoke beer is not my favourite style. Taste can also be described as lightly smoke with some nice malt to support the smoke. Overall, this is probably a more balanced smoke ale then what is generally known as smoke ale which I appreciated since this is not my favourite style.

Pours a clear golden color with a frothy white head. Aroma reaks of smoke. Wonderful taste of smoke and malt, but not much else. As much as I liked it, I couldn’t finish one myself. I think this requires food.

Not a big fan of smoked beers but this is a nice example of the style. I like the hop finish and would like to see more balance.

A nice smoked brew. Not really a big fan of the style but this one is mild enough not to offend. Black mlty brew with the prerequisite liquid smoke flavor. Not bludgeoning though.
