Taster at Old Town Pub in Bordentown. A Brewver Top 50 for the style! Bright, yellow gold pour. Creamy white cap is scant. Aroma of pale malt and herbal hops. Flavor is light and smooth. Biscuity malt, herbal hops and light citrus notes. Incredibly soft and drinkable. Some peppery notes in finish.

Can at home thanks to Clark. Black bodied and frothy beige head. Nose is smoky ash, ham, chocolate, red fruit. Tastes of charred ash, dark chocolate, dried dates, some malt, bacon and woody. Creamy palate. Smoky finish.

Canned 11/5/25, drunk 8/10/25.
VERY carbonated. Pale, lemon-brass. Massive, white head, well-retained.
Actually can smell the pale lager here. Not dominated by the lemonade at all, and only a component of the aroma. Like pale lager with lemon zest. Clean and pretty snappy. Maybe a dusting of sugar from the lemonade.
Sweeter in the flavor, though, with a big honey-and-table-sugar character immediately that dries out slightly with some biscuity malt and lemon acidity. This might be the best thing I've had from Sacred Profane, and it's half lemonade....

16 oz can traded by Clarkvv. Disclaimer: Iβm not a fan of smoked malt in anything. In the aroma it is ash and smoke. Luckily, in the flavor, the smoke is not obnoxious. Flavor of smoked meat, Ash, and smoky wood. I wish there was more malt. Thatβs here, but it is a lower ABV. Quite honestly, I really hate the style, so donβt even read my review.

Canned 4/21/25, drunk 7/2/25.
Certainly looks the part - full, well-retained, tan head and a dark, clear body.
As with the pale, the smoke is lovely. Ashy campfire, very woody and nicely dry. Tons of pepper and iodine-like character. Malts a bit timid, but there is some me chocolate, roast and toast.
My biggest qualm with the base dark lager was it's overabundance of dark malt. Here the smoke muddles the picture. Doesn't seem TOO big on the specialty malt, but then, doesn't seem too big on the base malt either. It is only 4%, so I don't expect the world, but maybe a bit more oomph from the texture would be nice. Carbonation is rather loose and vapid, as well. The smoke, like the pale, is wonderful.

Can, enormous thanks Gurthnar for saving this one to share for me! Blackish body, lasting off-white head, pretty big. Nutty notes in the aroma, prunes, smoke, smoked plums really, light roast. The taste is impressive too, bacon, nutty notes, nice roastiness, dates, creamy, lightly tart. Apart from the tartness, absolutely lovely, great job!

Can (4/21/25) from trade with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Opaque dark brown with light sparkle, large head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is smoky, woody (campfire) roasted malt, very late hint of caramel. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, frothy, creamy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Geez, this is like a Rauchbier.

16 oz can traded by Clarkvv, thanks?? Full disclaimer, I donβt enjoy smoked malt. The only thing I find in the aroma is light campfire. Thankfully the flavor has a little more going on. Honey grain, bread, minerals, and of course smoke.

Can, best before 9/5/25, drunk 6/12/25.
Clear blonde-golden-brass. Big, fluffy, white head, great retention.
Nose is a luscious smoke with all sorts of woodiness, very light iodine and lots of pepper. Good maltiness behind it, with white bread, light sourdough and a hint of earthy, mildly herbal hop. Clean.
Somewhat malty, quite smokey, with earth, ash, rich wood and dust and a lingering pepper. Good depth and pretty good attenuation. I don't know, there's always something with their beers I can't quite put my finger on that I don't love. But this is pretty well-done and the smoke is certainly fantastic.
