Not to be confused with the smoked porter, the Smoked Ale is a Bamberg-style rauchbier!

It has a hazy amber-orange body beneath a frothy head of antique-white foam. The head retention is quite good and it leaves some nice lace about the glass.The nose is sweetish and smoky, but not overdone. It's quite welcoming in fact, kind of like a side of bacon! In the mouth it's medium bodied and creamy smooth. The flavor is very well balanced, offering a bready, caramelish and lightly toasty maltiness that's accented with beechwood smokiness! A firm to solid bitterness backs it, and it finishes dry with a lingering woody smokiness. Very well-rounded, superbly balanced in regards to the smoke character, and very drinkable! One of the best American made examples of the style I've ever tasted!
