Taster at Rotary GroveFest, June 2019. A smoked beer? Maybe an off choice for the middle of a heat wave, but how often do we find one of these on tap locally? Lovely smoked, dark color. A nose that's more malty than smoky. A bit of cherry wood to it, and raisin. Not a Bamberg smoked ham, but a retro smoked malt goodie.

12oz bottle. A big, deep, rich, full bodied Smoked Strong Ale. Drinks big, more similarities to a Barleywine than to a Schlenkerla or Spezial smoked beer. Not that impressive of a final product. Once again, floaties. Has what seems to me like mild infection issues too. Probably more enjoyable on tap.

Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home on a Sunday afternoon prior to heading up to see friends up north. Appearance is caramel/amber, moderate consistency with a modest off white head. Aroma of smoked malt. Taste is equally smoky with nice caramel notes. Overall good stuff.
