Bottle from Drinkshop. Lacking head, colour is hazy brown. Smoke centered, traditional beech smoke imo. There is relatively strong sweetness, while there is little in terms of malt character besides the smoke. Alcohol also manifests moderately, which is not so bad per se, but this particular beer would do well without it. Overall not bad though, rather enjoyable, but a hard drinking one while being relatively simple.

Mission Dolores, Brooklyn tap: pours mahogony with a white head. Aroma is smokey and quite large and malty. Taste is smokey without being in the least bit burnt. Kind of sweet. Large but not boozy. Pretty nice.

From a 330ml bottle on 1/5/2017. Pours a cloudy amber with no head. The nose is intense, with smoked meat, campfire ash and caramel.In the mouth, its quite a singular and very intense experience. A dessert smoked beer? Well we have one here and it’s works. Things begin sweet and sticky, with lots of sweet caramel and toffee. The smoke is noticeable, but sits in the background along with a significant, lingering, almost burnt bitterness. The 9.6% is no surprise here - it’s a big syrupy sipper. The palate is quite oily and there is just the barest hint of carbonation. Not for everyone, but if you into smoked beers, have a sweet tooth and sense of adventure, you may love it.

(Bottle) Pours cloudy red dark brown with tiny white head. Lovely smoky aroma - bacon, cheese, leather, wood. Smooth, oily, full bodied, with gentle carbonation. Great taste - complex, rich - smokiness dominates in a good way, and it’s a smooth, almost meaty smokiness - good malty sweetness through start and mid palate. Some good bitterness in finish. The alcohol is clearly present, but well balanced against the other dominant flavours. Excellent beer.

Deep Mahogany color. Massive smoked malt, tons of BBQ chips with smoked cheese. Slightly sweet, tons of BBQ with just liquid smoked meat. Omg this is good. Low carbonation. The sweet and smokey play so well together. Awesome.

Sample at Borefts 2016. Poured a murky medium brown with a bubbly white head. The aroma is spicy smoky bacon. The flavour is roasty liqourice malt with a bacon spicy sweet malt liqourice palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
