L: Deep dark brown permeated by streams of rapidly rising bubbles under a 2" medium tan cap with good retention.

S: Mild smoke blends with rich malt aromas with traces of darker malt sugars. there is a trace of caramel. Hop aromas are medium low.

T: The beer is malty with the smoke and a medium plus hop bitterness keeping the malt from becoming cloying.

F: The beer is big and creamy with a mild alcohol warming that is not hot or harsh.

O: Big bold flavors go along with a rich, luscious, creamy texture.

Pours a nice, hazy, murky brown color. The head, when poured from the growler was minimal, but a nice off white color.
The nose is has got a nice, light, smoky flavor. Not too strong, but pleasing.
The taste is a lot more smoky than the nose lets on. Really smooth smoky favor. Some sweetness with that smoke flavor.
Moderate feel.
Overall, this is a damn good smoked beer.

Bought this from the local Liquor Store (Valley Spirits) after learning about it from an employee. Purchased the 32 Oz can, and poured it into a 16 Oz Guinness Glass. The pour was easy, and it appeared very creamy, with about a 1 1/2 finger beige colored head. The color of the ale is a dark caramel/ dark amber copper tone with a perfect amount of bubbles flowing to the top. The Smell was of Hops and Caramel, with the hops being slightly more strong. The mouthfeel was very smooth and creamy, with slight effervescence.

The taste is very pleasing, and the first thing I could taste was a caramel/sweet flavor, then the hops, but no scotch at this point. The aftertaste is where I tasted the Scotch, and the entire beer compliments itself while drinking. This is a great Autumn/Winter drink, as it's very thick, but not something you can chew on.

This beer is labelled as "Swamp Thing" but on my label it is called "Swamp Thang", not that it makes much of a difference really. The ABV on the label is 8.2% as well. Overall, I am very pleased to have a local brewery making this sort of ale, as it's supporting the local economy, and is very delicious. Thanks!
