Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: golden yellow to copper color with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: wood smoke, bacon/ham-like sweetness, subtle earthy hops, light clean cracker malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a smoky sweet quality; finishes wood smoky with some earthy hops
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, good smoothness
Overall: nicely done smoked beer to me, very much would love to come back to.

Can from Greg, thanks for the opportunity! Hazy golden color with a decent white head that dissipates but leaves some decent lace. Smoky on the nose with bits of bready crackery malt. Flavor follows the aroma lots of smoke, too much smoke for my tastes.

Poured from a 16 oz. can. I purchased at Greg & Janes, Epping, NH. Ok, to be fair, I really don't like smoked beers. That said I am being as subject as possible. The color is a milky / dirty gold. Aroma is honey that was dipped in smoked wood. Flavor is mild citrus with a steady amount of smoked malts that last throughout the sip. Body is light with an ashy finish. The "Wood Splitter" theme works here.
