12 oz bottle from Drake, thanks. Pours a dark brown color with a small beige head. The aroma is mild with smoke and sweet burnt malts. The taste is a very good smoked beer with caramel malts, earth and smoky meats. The palate was a tad thin, almost watery. the carbonation was lively. Lingering aftertaste of ashes. Overall: Decent.
