Tap. Golden yellow with a very thin film head. Aroma has apples, elderflowers and some malts. Taste is a little weak (but perhaps it has been poured a bit too cold?). Slightly citric, smoky and vinious.

Bottle. Poured a clear copper color with a thin off-white head. The aroma was sweet with fruits and a molasses background. Sweet flavor with fruits (raisins & prunes), caramel , and spices. Medium body and the carbonation is slightly on the tingly side. Sweet aftertaste.

Orange pour, moderate head, average at best lacing and retention. Aroma is lightly smoked with caramel and lesser fruit notes. High carbonation, medium to light bodied. Some interesting stuff going on here, but overall not that enjoyable.

Pours clear amber with a very thin lager like head. Aroma is sweet and malty with a similar taste - but smoke....nope.

Smoked? I didn’t get that at all. Poured a light amber color with little to no head. Very malty nose, maybe a touch of a a brandy or whiskey-like note; flavor is soft and malty, definite alcohol presence. Thin bodied, lightly carbonated and very silky smooth on the palate. Not bad.

Clear golden body topped by a little white ring. Not a very flavourful beer, even the alcohol taste is missing. Light body, soft carbonation, a little toasted bread taste, a touch of smoke, some ashes, Not even a flavour whisky malt which is supposed to be the main taste. Boring and without personality. Junk-beer, McQueen, do you want fries with that?

33,cl. Pours a light-medium, perfectly clear amber. Light, moussy white head with lots of clingy whipped-egg-white lace. Cloying bready, datey, toffee-ish nose. Weak body, low carb, aggressive flavors: the bread, dates, and toffee come through, along with an overwhelming sour metallic tang for the finish. Evidently that tang is supposed to be the smoke. Not a disaster, but you can see them from here.

Decent white head of fine bubbles. Light carbonation. Light smoked pork aroma. Kind of hammy. Moderate malty aroma with a bit of spice and yeast. Color is a dirty gold. Thin body and flavor. Little metallic. This is a smoked. Not really in my opinion. Hardly any smoke in the flavor. Light peat and malts. Hides its alcohol pretty darn well. Little smoke shows up late swallow and in the finish but really nothing to brag about. Whisky notes? Uh uh. I get nuttin. This is bit of a dissapointment from a brewer that I really enjoy!
