Mild smoked aroma fer sure. Quite attractive tot he nose. Big and black on the eye. Initially I think the smoke is well done, not over the top and so friendly. Just enough o keep you intrigued. Therfe is no rude bacon in yer face on this one. All the ruff smoked attitudes so common in unbalanced smoked beers is missing. I don’t like smoked beers but this one is sortah pleasing to me.
