3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Did not like the first sip at all, but the flavor grew on me. Very rich flavor and texture. The only other smoked beer I have tried is the Stone Smoked porter, and I liked it quite a bit more because the smoke seemed to be better integrated into the flavor.

Pours a rich amber with a cream colored head from a bomber. Medium thick head and semi lasting. Smell is lightly smoky and malty and a semi rich, nice creamy body. Mild malty tartness and some smokiness in the flavor but somewhat restrained. Pretty easy drinking and mild overall. Nice, but simple and perhaps a bit boring.

Extreme Beer Fest '04, Cloudy copper in color with a small white head.Aroma of a barbecue smoke pit.Flavor is malty,smokey and of spicy hops.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Bottle) Pours a brown color with a nice looking white head. Rich malty aroma includes smoke and peat. Taste includes similar notes, as well as some sweet toffee, wood and mild hops. The smoke is not overwhelming at all. Very easy to drink, but had a good palate as well. Medium-low carbonation. Another good Rogue product.

Smoak, aged in French Oak barrels, is the version I had, and it knocked me over. Great with food, wonderful on it’s own. One of my favorite rauchbiers to date.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Clear orange-amber body topped by a decent sized light tan frothy head. The aroma is a big wallop of smoked meat. The smoke really dominates the aroma. The flavor is more balanced, there is still lots of smoke, but also some sweet malt and just a bit of hops. The body is medium and a bit fizzy. This should pair wonderfully with the Virgina Kobe Beef Tenderloin I am about to put on the grill.
