Feb 18, 2009 Updated: Mar 8, 2009Thanks ucusty. I didn’t catch much off the aroma besides some faint hay elements. But the flavor combines the smoked malt, caramel, and grassy hop flavors in a really enjoyable way. Amber orange body with a large off-white head that leaves a heavy lacing. Medium bodied, smooth and highly drinkable.

Apr 5, 2009 aroma of toast, smoke, and jerky. Tastes of caramel, toast, rye, and mellow smoke. Finishes bready with a sweet smokiness. Yum. It’s alright overall, but nothing special really.

Mar 20, 2009 Thanks ucusty! I’m always excited to try a smoked beer. This one was unfortunatel fairly plain. Amber colored with a thin head. Fruity apple aroma with faint smoke. The smoke takes a backseat to a simple Marzen like beer when it comes to the flavor as well. Whatever.

Mar 24, 2009 Bottle shared by ucusty. Thanks Dave. Always exciting to try a new CBC beer. This is pretty meh as far as quality smoke beers go but not bad for my local brewery if you know what I mean. Not a very intense smokey flavor and sort of watered down at times, but for the most part it holds its ground and its not as bad as Jamie says though he is harsh critic of the smokey brewskis. Thanks for trying CBC!

Jan 31, 2009 Updated: Apr 9, 2009Crystal clear amber pour, thick off white head that slowly settles to a fine film and a single ring of drippy lace. Light smoke and caramel malts on the nose. Medium bodied with sweet malts up giving way to a light smokey finish. Really easy to drink. This beer could be more in your face smokey, but I guess the brewer didn’t want to go that route.

Mar 24, 2009 Bottle shared by ucusty. Wish we got more of the CBC seasonals around here... they’re so close! Clear amber brown pour. Thin gauzy white head. Sweet grainy nose and malt presence. Minor smoke presence. More sweet than smoky, but not too bad

Mar 19, 2009 Thanks ucusty for sharing. Pours a translucent light copper with a one finger light tan head. The nose is leafy, hoppy, bready malt, musty, some cardboard. Very little smoke comes through in the nose or flavor. Flavor is malty, some smoke, leafy hops. Not too hot.
