Commercial Description:
Munich, 2-row, wheat, dark caramel, chocolate, and special roast malts with a few scoops of roasted barley bury this pensive ale in layer upon layer of malt flavors while bright American hops dig it out, and an eighth layer of peated malts lift it off the ground with a mild smokiness.

Light brown color with a reddish tint. The nose boasts light roast, citric hops and very light chocolate. Light roast and a little hop bite in the body. Coffee and chocolate. Slightly spritzy. No smoke to speak of, weird.

Has a chocolate nose, but a good smoked flavor that comes through. Thick roasted malts and barley flavor. The smokiness works well with the other flavors to create a nice balance. Some hops in the end give it a slight bitterness. Nicely dark with good lacing. Pleasant surprise.
