A: Rose tan appearance. Nice retention
S: Leather and smoke. Nice aroma.
T: Disappointing. Smokey tones interfere reather than supplement.
M: Okay for type.
O: Not worth seeking out. Can tell that this would be interesting without smoke flavor or toned down smoke.

750ml corked and caged bottle pours a clear copper to brownish color with a khaki head that holds well.
It smells meaty and sweet like caramel with slight phenolic plastic smoke character like its pete smoked and not "cleanly smoked."
The taste is sweet with caramel and toffee maltiness balanced by a bitterness like bark and smoke. The interplay of flavors here really works to form an enjoyable malty smoked beer.
This is medium to lighter bodied with modest carbonation. A decent brew with good mix of character without being too smokey.

The deepest possible ruby color with nice lacing and white foam at the edges of the glass. Truly beautiful.
Roasty and bready malt mixed with hickory-smoked bacon. Christmas ham and bacon grease in a glass.
The smoke is a bit more subdued in the taste, or rather masked by other flavors. Though it has a pretty clean taste profile, it finishes fairly sweet and is more reminiscent of a doppelbock than the aroma; some dark fruit and alcohol notes. Still, it is not quite malty/sweet enough for a doppelbock.
Medium body and moderate carbonation; slick feel left on palate. More ‘drinkable’ than most doppelbocks.
An interesting and unusual beer to be sure. It was drinkable and the smoke character was not overwhelming (at least not enough to keep me from finishing the bottle). Still, this is a beer that is perhaps best served with food, and I would personally take a more ‘traditional’ doppelbock over this one in general.

A: The beer is very hazy amber in color. It poured with a quarter finger high tan head that has good retention properties and consistently left a thin head covering the surface.
S: Moderate aromas of smoked malts are present in the nose.
T: Like the smell, the taste is rather smoky and has hints of sweet malts, although it's not too smoky to the degree to which you can taste iodine-like flavors.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: For a doppelbock, this beer is quite drinkable because it isn't as full-bodied compared to other beers in the style.

Bottle pour for New Brew Thursday's 3rd Anniversary event held at Beachwood BBQ & Brewing in Long Beach, CA.
Pours a murky orange-brown with a foamy khaki head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, caramel, and some smoke aromas. Taste is much the same with a smoke flavor that lingers on the finish. There is a mild amount of smoke bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with some nice smoke aromas and flavors.

Poured from 750 mL bottle into shaker pint glass. Bottle # 01992. Brewed Summer 2012.
A: Pours a clear reddish amber hue with mild-moderate carbonation producing a 1/2 inch light tan head that quickly dissipates.
S: Wood smoke, caramel malts, raisins, and well-worn leather.
T: Wood and bacon smoke, spicy rye, and sweet caramel malts.
M: Light body (lighter than you'd expect from the ABV). Silky smooth and sweetly oily.
D: A deeply flavored beer and yet light bodied and clean tasting. The result is a decently complex and easily drinkable brew (highly drinkable when considering the style). Solid, but no need to seek it out. Nice cause though.
