Aromas of light malts, and grain barely any smoke. Grainy malt flavors with a light smoke. Decent, but I’d prefer a barrage of smoke in my smoked beers. sjolles85 (90), Tampa, Florida, USA

Kind of an amber pour with a smokey aroma. Nice, caramel flavor with some smokiness, some rye. A bit of fruit. Overall, really badass. mabel (2626), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Poured amber with reddish tones. 1/2 inch foamy, off-white head with nice lace. Aroma of caramel was mild and almost not there. Flavor of mild oak, and sweetness. Malts, rye, and caramel were also present. Slight smokiness as the beer warmed. Flavors began to mesh. Medium bodied. Easy to drink. dkachur (2422), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

Aroma: wow, truly delicate and upliftingly pleasant! light sweet smoked wood and light honey bbq sauce .. Look: pours a 20yr old copper penny with medium foam, stable headring , lacing is proper.. . its my specialty and junk ... . Mouth: perfect perfect perfect in the mouth, full and coating but not overdone, classy! ... very pure smokiness, light kiss of smoked caramel even, a fantastic brew... (salami and smoked gouda would be amazing with this)... I said a few weeks ago that smoked beers were becoming my new favourite style (eclipsing my love of english barleywines) and this beer helps out my thinking ... What good is mining nose gold if I can’t share it with the townspeople? .. .
