Bottle: Poured a light black color porter with a big foamy head with some good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of subtle smoked malt with some roasted malt notes in intriguing but maybe a tad weak. Taste is also dominated by the roasted malt notes with some medium smoky notes. Body is definitely too watery and filtrated for the style with some good carbonation. A good base with some nice characteristics but lacking a bit of power too makes this truly interesting.

2004 bottle shared with the Montreal crew on 11/6/05. Pours a clear muted orange-amber with some drab olive-like brown notes as well. Beige head fizzles rapidly to ring, with no lacing. Aroma has your typical smoke and phenols nose, like you get in the Schlenkerlas, though the smoke is dryer, more thin, and not even a tenth as powerful or rich. But it’s there. Some salty, lightly chocolatey roast, no hops or alcohol. In the flavor, the smoke seems fairly tame, only adding a bit of dry charred wood, a hint of smoked gouda and plenty of sweet, creamy sugars, light milk chocolate and a watered down roastiness. Very simple, waxing too sweet, with the smoke character beginning to dry on the finish and then a sudden kick of blandish, almost dirty/earthy yeast. Very loose consistency, thinned out but yet the carbonation is sharp and prickly. Loose texture with a sharp carbonation is about as disconcerting a combination as you can get. Reminds me considerably of Alaskan Smoked Porter. Sanitation and bottling needs work.

Bottled. Dark nut brown, small head. Smokey bacon aroma. Sweet and generously malty with very soft mouthfeel and notes of red berries and low bitterness. Very malt accented. Pleasant and interesting.

uses beechwood to smoke the malt. However, the beer itself comes off as unbalanced and much too smokey, perhaps aging will mellow out the beer. Should be noted I am not a smoked beer fan!

Color of Coca Cola, fast fading head.Lightly smoked nose. Slightly fatty lightly smoked flavor. Not bad…I expected more smoke

Mellow malt background and smooth smokiness - just let it wash over you as you enjoy your breakfast.
