Brewery draught, 5/28/22. Bronze-amber, clear, small, off-white/light-beige head atop showing moderately-low retention. Tons of fruity smoke in the nose with soft caramel and honey from the rich malting. Clean. Smoke is dominant though not problematically so. No alcohol noted. Strongly malty, with tons of honey and light caramel. Smoke comes on heavily but is deliciously-done. A bit underattenuated for my liking. Very sweet, despite it somewhat helping to balance the smoke.
