7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a semi-clear burnt orange color with a film of a little white foamy head. Moderate clingy lace.
The aroma had some grain and sweet meat, subtle smoke, little bit of ash, and woodiness. Light breadiness and some grassy/hay features slide in underneath.
The flavor leaned in towards the sweet smokiness initially and then brought in some of that grassy/hay hoppy portions underneath. Subtle smoke and sweet meat in the aftertaste. Also, it hits in the finish.
The feel was about a medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine and the ABV made it want to be quite crushable.
Overall, glad to see this labeled as a smoked beer on ratebeer as this is not a rauchbier. Still, I liked it more for me and probably would have again.
