Draught at GABF 2008. Clear amber - white head. Smokey, light malty, caramel, bread, a bit thin, dryness, light sweetness. Boring.

The nose has a strange chemical and burnt plastic nose, that’s the extent of the smoke, really. Ashy, pasty texture up fornt, flavor of stale cigarette ashes. Slimy, filmy finish. Passable.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber with a thick white head. The aroma is mostly a rich malt with tons of smoke and meaty notes. The taste was also fairly smoke filled, but also with some lingering malts and a bit of hops. Pretty easy to drink and not bad.

NABA 08’: Pours a copper color with light head. The nose is smoky and bright with campfire and peat. Lots of hop to throw everything off. Comes across acrid and sour, bouncing between smoke and bitter. Not appetizing.
