On tap at GABS, May 2014.
Pours a dark amber colour, brownish-tinged. Head is beige, dense, sticking around pretty nicely and leaving some nice lace. Pretty nice.
Smells smokey, with a few herbal hints around the edges. Meaty, slightly charry. Yeah not too much to it but it's a very pleasant, unpretentious smokey aroma. Enjoyable.
Smokiness is a bit subdued on the palate. It's there, but sort of trails off towards the back. Mild upfront and tapers off towards the back, with a touch of black pepper providing some pleasant piquancy late. Not as rich as it could have been, but pleasant enough.
A little bit meh, or at least disappointing after the promise of the nose. Just could have used more smokey character.

Brewed for GABS 2014 in Melbourne, which is where I sampled it on-tap.
Pours a deep amber-brown, fairly clear and reasonably bright. Head is fairly solid although the carbonation (minimal though it is) swirls through it fairly quickly. Head it a fine ring of white perhaps tinged with a suggestion of orange. Not much in the way of lace. Looks okay though.
Nose is glucose-sweet, but very thin, giving a suggestion of carbonated water along with the sugary sweetness. There's a wild peppery smoke that comes through as well, rather pleasantly, but it's a bit weak overall.
Light entry to the palate with a hint of bush smoke to it, before the weakness allows a touch of acidity to poke its head up. A little spice appears on the aftertaste, but otherwise it's very, very weak. Not unpleasant, just weak. Feel is so light that it's almost pointless.
The lightness makes it fairly easy to chug, despite the more interesting flavours that you should supposedly savour. But it just feels as though it's neither providing much in the way of flavour, nor a truly drinkable beer.
