This strong yet smooth ale features a combination of German Rauch (smoked) and Scottish Peated malts along with chocolate and crystal malts. The result is a pronounced and intriguing smokiness with a thick malty. Not for the faint of heart!

Can: Poured a pitch-black porter with a large foamy brown head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with huge smoked malt notes is quite nice. Taste is a balance mix of smoked malt, some roasted malt with some black chocolate notes and dry finish. Body is full with nice creamy touch and some good carbonation. Super well balanced and world class smoked beer.

16 oz can gifted by Oakes. Thanks! Quite a treat for the strange brew fan like myself. I say strange, because smoked beers are one thing, and this brings smoked to another level. Dark dense, thick midnight pour. Dark brown fizz head. Toasty, smoked aroma. Flavor is a similar toasty, roasted malt, covered by a smoked ham. Lingering campfire. So much that it seems dry as a result. Smoke. Can't say much more about it. Surprised how much I enjoyed this.
