Dave's BrewFarm The Bruiser, Smoked malt Scotch Ale.
Dusky brown appearance, with ruby highlights at the edges, very slim and soon gone head, nothing to speak of.
Aroma: yep, there's the smoked malt, there's the bacon-y feel, no, more like salmon, actually. with dark malt below that.
Tasting it: Bitter hit at first, bracing blast that mellows a bit, all is calm some caramel malt feel comes in. Smoke remains king, however. And it's damned tasty. Also, boozy, ...halfway in it's ringing loud and proud.
Tasting it, delicious. Really, honestly, yum, yum, yum. Smoked malt meets sweet malt, and it all comes together in beautiful harmony. What's in a name? I ain't bruised...yet. Nobody bruised me...lately.
Oh, wait...
But, oh, I like drinking this, I love tossing this down my ol' gullet. It's the 3-time punch:

On tap at the Brewfarm.
Pours a murky brownish color with just a trace of head that does not produce much lacing.
Smells of sweet malt with a generous amount of smoked malt.
The taste is big and it comes in basically two forms sweet and smokey. There is a ton of malt sweetness present and nearly an equal amount of smoked malt. Rich and delicious, well hidden alcohol.
Very smooth, almost slick. Lower carbonation, full body.
Drinks quite nicely despite the abv. Really a great example of the style if you like smoke, which I do. Would love to see something like this available for retail. Great job Dave.
