Smoked malt is one of the more dubious tools in a brewer’s bag because thresholds are vastly different. What to one palate is a hint of bacon, or a whiff of BBQ, to another is ashtray or Band-Aids. How can Carton ignore playing this game? Where Can Smoldering aromatics go off the beaten craft? In Bourbon Barrel Peaches & Cream Swishr we have reassembled the deconstructed aspects of the Swisher wrap. Rich dark malts brought smoky by the addition of oak smoked pale wheat, touched with bourbon and stone fruit sweetness and a heavy plug of the hops that smell like their cousins. Drink Swishr and hand me down a 50-pack.

16 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Nearly opaque dark brown color. Rocky tan head. Nice lacing. Subtle smoked malt aroma hints at oak and campfire. Flavor is dark roasted malt, some oak, some bourbon and some smoke. The peach flavor is sparse. Honestly, it’s like smoking a cheap cigar. Some bitterness on backend. Interesting.
