Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a rugged looking semi-dark brown almost dark orange/red sort of color. Thin cap of a little white head. No lace.
The aroma has some smoke underscored by some bitter grassy hops.
The flavor is basically the same with a light smoked malty aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a sly sessionably smooth feel about it. Carbonation runs fairly under but good.
Overall, definitely a smoked beer and not a rauchbier despite what the name suggests. Decent for what it is, perhaps again? Not sure.
