growler @ Miami Fandango ’10 gathering. Cheers to Diego for the share. dark brown, mocha head. Aroma has light notes of smoked malts, maple aspect is light, roasted and coffee, mocha nose. Flavors, very similar to the aroma, I detect some nice smoked malt with faint maple syrup, chocolate, roasted finish with hints of coffee. Superbly malty/mocha mouthfeel with just a tad of smoke in the finish. Not sure why this is not a smoked beer rather than stout. Enjoyed this one a lot. I do pick some smoke, but I am not sure if that’s what was intended with the bacon or if they had actually meat flavoring in the beer. Anyways, I just didn’t get much of the meat aspect as much as it was more smoked.
