3.9/5 rDev -3%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
A: The beer is very dark brown when viewed from afar but when held up to a glass it is clear but very dark red in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a narrow collar of beige bubbles around the edge of the glass and lots of wisps of lacing on the surface.
S: Light to moderate aromas of smoked malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell but has stronger flavors of smoked malts.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer was very easy to drink given its lighter body nature.
Serving type: can

4.27/5 rDev +6.2%

Crowler from Westmere Beverage in Albany, NY.
This one pours a golden amber color, with a small head, and lots of white sticky lacing.
This smells like light ad wispy smoke, fermented maple, caramel, dark breadiness, and tobacco.
The smoke is lightly done here, luckily - it's certainly a flavor that can get overwhelming with over-use. The maple is definitely there, but it doesn't add to much overwhelming sweetness. The smoke is there - and adds a light and clean earthiness, alongside caramel drizzled breadiness, and tobacco and grassy hoppiness.
This is light bodied, creamy, and rich, with a great drinkability, and a nice creamy smoothess on the back end.
I like this a lot. Oxbow is going to do stuff well that no one else is really gonna try.
