L: deep dark brown under a 3" tan cap with good persistence

S: cherry wood smoke aromas play well with the roast malts accenting the mild chocolate and coffee aromas

T: rich and malty featuring traces of debittered coffee, caramel and chocolate. Smokey bacon flavors are at a complementary level and do not overpower the black ale character

F: very creamy with a medium plus body and medium carbonation

O: delightful, very drinkable beer has enough smoke to have an impact but not enough to overpower the base beer
