16 oz can into a pint glass.
A: Slightly hazy dark yellowish-golden color with a large fluffy white head.
S: Like someone fired up the smoker attachment on the grill, with some doughy malt just barely poking through.
T: Smoke, faint honey sweetness and even fainter spicy hops.
F: Medium body.
O: It's smoky alright.

Canned 9/4/24; drank 10/30/24 @ the Yarchives.
See-through dull orange/yellow rust appearance.
A rough pour yielded a nice off-white head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lacing remained.
Smoked ham & faint honeyed wheat notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel. Sweet ham & smoke flavors.
A bit of subtlety on the nose but this was a rauch hammer on the palate.
Good, but make it the last beer of the night.
