Dark brown colour, frothy head that stays for a while. Nose is smoked sausage. Mouth is less smoked, with dried plum, caramel, leather. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Not too heavy. Easy to drink. Fantastic.

Bottle, shared at Thanksgiving after a delicious meal, songs, guitars, and beer. Dark (of course). Smoked bacon, caramel, malt (both in taste and smell). Smooth, creamy, round, chewy. Very drinkable. Don’t know why I forgot to rate that one the last times I had it.

Thanks Jamie C., perhaps the most bacony beer I’ve ever had!
