Commercial Description:
This shimmering gold amber coloured beer has a light, smoked malt aroma. It’s well-rounded, with a great taste of malts and with a hint of sweetness. The smoky taste is quite dominant at each new draught. An original and notable beer, La Charbonnière is a house specialty.

I love smoked beers. When served, this copper beer reveals smokey odors, nuts and caramel. Once in the mouth, the best word to describe it is Smoked Salmon. Perfect bitterness with some floral hops. You can also have a nutty taste.

Just like smoked salmon. Nice gold amber color but head is small. A sole beer, very good experience. The smoky final last.

Tap - a phenomenal smoked beer, reminiscent of schlenkerla urbock - smooth, creamy, full mouthfeel, with a strong, but perfectly integrated smokiness, working well atop the medium sweet malt base - notes of toasted marshmallow and caramel - soft edges all around - conjures memories of campfires - sooo smoky.

I tasted this one with Oakes and have to agree that it is a great beer. Light amber in colour with a huge smoky taste all the way through.

Amber color, long lasting head. Very pleasant smoke and malt aroma. The beer tastes of smoke malt and hops. The smokiness is amazingly long in the finish. I could drink this beer all night.

On draught 2/25/05 at the Moan and Dove, Péché Mortel release party. Served in a tumbler between 47-52 degrees.
Deep orange-yellow colored beer, thick looking (wavy and transluscent) with a small pillow of off-white head, moderate retention. Aroma of spicy hops, little bit of earthiness and saltiness. Some sweet toffee in the nose as well. The smoke flavor comes out swinging from the get-go. Rich, salty, sweet smoked-malt works perfectly with the fluffy, lightly creamy body. Even with all of the smokiness, it dosent get boring (to me) and I happily go back for a second glass. Not a syrupy or heavy body, but not a light or watery one either. It strikes a good balance, so to speak. Torn between giving this a 4 or a 5 for palate. Malt could be said to get a bit too sweet, in the end, but it hardly worries me. Low carbonation, no alcohol apparency. I’m sold, but then, I’m a sucker for rauchbiers.

Very well balanced. Great smokey flavours, chewy malt. Very long finish. So smooth you’d swear it was a lager, but it is top fermented.
