Common descriptors are
Dark lager we brewed with house-smoked malt. The wood was actually leftover scraps from our tasting trays and one of our tables - very old redwood that was once a large water storage vessel at a lumber mill in Albany Oregon. With the help of a couple friends we smoked 150 pounds of the grist in our custom built smoker and worked it into a recipe that will yield a full-bodied dark lager, not too unlike the color of the wood. This one is getting bottled just in time for fall and winter campers.
