8 oz. draft at the source. Pitch is black with thin tan head. Aroma is campfire ash, mild roasted malt. Flavor is like licking a slightly dirty ashtray. Not offensive in any way but smoked malt is here in a moderate amount.

tap at the brewpub - Pours very dark brown with a long lasting tan head. It has a roast coffee aroma. The flavor is smoky and roasty with good coffee notes. It’s medium bodied with a smoky finish. I thought this brew was very similar to the Mick’s Irish Stout but seemed to have more body.

On cask 3/5/05 with Barry at the pub. I was very excited to try a smoked beer on cask, never having had one before. Dark, milk chocolate brown pour with some dark tan hues swirling about. Completely opaque and very sediment rich. Good light tan head, creamy and fairly long-lasting. Aroma of lightly salty roast and dark chocolate. Some lactic notes as well. Not getting too much smoke in the nose yet. As I take a sip, the first thing I notice is a slightly watery body, with some dry roast and dark bitter coffee notes. I’m eased in to some smoked malt, with some sweet milk chocolate as well. As my palate gets used to the lighter than expected body, I come to enjoy the extreme drinkability of the beer. Lightly salty, wood smoke, hickory or what have you. Not thick bacon and fish or anything like that. Finishes rather watery and lightly sweet.

Deep black porter with a thin moka head. Light peaty malt aroma and light chocolates. Dry chocolate with lactic notes and bitter finish. Didn’t detect much of the smoked notes remembered in the past, still a good porter.

Draft. Nicely balanced smoke flavor. Not overpowering at all. Surprisingly easy to drink.

Full-on flavour. A great fireside pint, although it still tasted good when I had it in July.
