Common descriptors are
Pub-only. Smoked Apple has faint aromas that don’t become more prevalent until the beer warms up a bit. When it does warm up, the fragrance is mildly sweet with a subtle smokiness. The initial mouthfeel is lively and literally tingles as it coats the palate. Initially, big smokey flavors overwhelm the sweetness of the malt and apples, but eventually balance is achieved, forming a more unified transition from smokey to sweet. Equal parts smoke and sweetness linger well into the finish.
