Big time smoke, like drinking in a campfire. Exactly how I like them.

12 oz, BA Lager Fest in Cyberspace. Aroma is complete campfire, smoked meats. Pours mostly clear amber with a one finger beige head with good retention. Taste is extremely smoky, a little sweet, faintly acidic. Probably the most smoky beer I’ve ever had, and that’s a good thing.

Growler from beerbeggar. Completely clear pale straw color. Clean, clear smoke. Very clean white cracker maltiness. Flavor is less smokey, more mineral lager with a seltzer like mouthfeel. Just a hint of sweet smoke at the end. Short aftertaste.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a bright yellow-gold color with a large fluffy white head that lingered and left very good lacing. The aroma was strong bacon and smoke. The flavor was strong bacon and smoke followed by wood and an underlying yeasty not. Very long smoky finish. Medium body. Ok.
