Bottle shared by mreusch. Pours deep brown with a creamy, beige head and ruby highlights. The nose is sweet, peaty malt with the addition of campfire smokiness. Light to medium-bodied, oily slick and flat with a woody dry finish. The flavor is a sweet, peaty, woody smokiness with a dry finish. No smoked meat notes in this one; not on the nose; not in the flavor. It was quite enjoyable sipping this one on a cool Spring night sitting in front of a patio fire. I can see this beer pairing well with a lot of different foods. Thanks for sharing it with me, Matt.

341ml bottle, with another thanks to Glouglouburp! Pours a cola brown with a one finger tan head, minimal lacing. Aroma is smoke, burnt peat, and molasses. Flavor brings out more smoke, peat and lightly burnt malts with some gentle sweetness. Not having explored the smoked style much, this is an enjoyable example, and good stuff, especially sitting next to a fire on a cool evening. Thanks again Dany!

Calumet Grand Cru Triple Porter. 12oz twist-off bottle. Pours dark brown. Smoke aroma. Flavor is smokey malt. Roasty. Good character.

Bottled, thanks to glouglouburp for sending this extra in a massive trade in early April. Black center with deep maroon edges. Minimal head with just a few bubbles. Strong aroma of smoke and charcoal with sweet molasses. Flavor is a massive roast bomb that tastes like a BBQ smokehouse. Pretty thin around the edges with a bittered coffee finish.

Rather mesquite-like smoked lightly meaty aroma. Tasty, solid smoky flavor. One of the most drinkable smoked beers I have ever tried.

DLD. Pours black with a yellow head. Sweet with aromas of smoke, malts and a bit of leather. Well balanced. Low carbonation. Medium bodied.

Smoke and beef jerky in the smell. Smells like a meal. Black to brown in color with red highlights and a decent head. Woody flavors in the taste with smoke, roastiness, and malts.

12 oz bottle, many thanks to gunhaver. Pours a dark rusty black with thin, but long lasting, beige head. The aroma is much like beef jerky, and I find myself salivating very quickly; beneath that are notes of coffee, light chocolate, and just a hint of overripened fruit. The flavor is... delicious. Again with the beef jerky smokiness, which I love. There’s a creamy chocolate sweetness under the smoke, which keeps it from completely dominating. There’s a little bit of a roasted coffee note, too. The finish has a fair amount of bitterness to it, really earthy hops mostly. There’s a little bit of burnt sourness there, too, but only enough to make it crisp. The smoke lasts well into the aftertaste. This is a very tasty beer.
