| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 1, 2009 On tap at C’est What - came a clear dark brown with a thin off-white head that soon diminished but laced neatly. Aroma chocolaty and lightly smoked. Perhaps a very mildly herbal character, but that might have been because I was looking for it. Flavour much more full of smoke, nice malts, a touch of hop bitterness to keep everything in check. Body sliiiiiightly thin, but not to the overall detriment of the beer. Nice sessionable smoked. Good one.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 2, 2009 This was a great smoked ale! The aroma was super smoky with lots of bacon, sausage, and hickory. I loved it! A good smoked is like a meal on its own! mabel (2612), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Clear, dark brown red-hued body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Grainy toasted malt flavour. Medium-full body. Definitely smoky, like a big fat cigarette butt.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 27, 2009 Draught at C’est What’s ’Fall Festival of Craft Breweries’. Pours a dark amber-brown with a small lasting creamy off-white head. Aroma: Smoke? I didn’t expect that! Smoke, lightly roasted dark malt and some sweetness. Flavour’s really smoky along with dark malt and cream. Average bodied. Enjoyable, if you like smokey beers, which I do. HogTownHarry (4020), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 26, 2009 Draught. At 2009 C’est What Fall festival. Perhaps my favorite new-to-me beer of the festival, but that’s not saying all that much. Slightly hazy deep reddish-brown pour with a good creamy beige cap. Smoky bacon aroma, roasty, a little sweet. Very smoky flavour - campfire, hickory cured bacon, bitter ash, some lactic table cream ... thick creamy mouthfeel, with a smoky minerally aftertaste - I liked it quite a bit; bacon? WIN!

Flavour is also fairly smokey, mild dark malt base. I did not pick out the fennel under the smoke personally. Average palate is smooth. Decent beer... for someone else who is not smoke averse.
