Aroma – Big aroma lots of malts and the smokey aroma was lingering quite nice.
Appearance – Brown in color, light head clear.
Flavor – Smoked malts was the flavor. Huge malt flavor with very little backing this beer up. Some hops and fruitiness to follow.
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, Very good texture with a good dry finish.
Overall – This was a nice beer. I was expecting this to have more of a Smokey flavor. Was a tad disappointed and also amazed at this big beer. Too much cost for this beer.

Pours like an old copper penny w/ a tall lasting head and finally a full fluffy ring. Smoky aromas prevail like an August desert wind. Full nectar w/ superb carbonation. This is a malt bomb as expected w/ a defined sweetness. The mild smoky character lends some depth. I’m getting some jerky, alot of stonefruit like nectarines, and a little hickory. The finish lingers smoky and sweet like a good ham.

Bottle. Brown color with a beige head. Aroma and taste is sweet and malty with notes of caramel, roasted malt, tobacco, alcohol and a hint of smoked meat.

Bottle - corked and caged. Murky copperish brown pour. Nose is smoked malts, smoked sausage, caramel, and sweet malts. Taste is meaty and malty with smoked malts, smoked meat notes, strong caramel, light spicy notes and light hops notes. Body is creamy, soft and smooth. Soft carbonation throughout, Finishes with more smoked malt and smoked meaty flavors atop a strong caramel and sweet malt backbone. Soft spices, fruit and hops back everything up here as well. Very nice!

When I opened my bottle, it popped and fizzed like New Year’s champagne, so be careful and have a nice big thirsty towel ready! Aroma is rich and malty with a strong hoppy undertone and hints of spice and fruit. It pours a delicious-looking, cloudy mahogany with a thick, buff-colored head that is fairly persistent. Flavor is rich and mouth filling - mainly malty, with a hint of hops, some smokiness, a touch of caramel, a little sweetness and a little bitterness. Texture is lively and sassy. Give ’em a (left) hand!
