Cherry smoked Danish ship's ale.
A reproduction of a Danish sailors brown ale from the 18th and 18th Centuries.
We smoked the malt with dried Cherry wood from our Polish friend Ziggy.

The brethren provideth. Dark Cola brown. No light. Bubbly translucent white head soon sticks to the rim. Aroma is smoky with caramel and a cherry sourness. Sour. Smoky. Cacao. More wood smoke. Kinda acrid. Some underlying sweet caramel makes a late rally. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft lazily fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. I don't mind a smoked beer but this one is just too acrid. I don't find the bitter smoky streak overly pleasent.
