The smoke is too dominant for my taste. I couldn't finish my sample.

Another on-tap only "pub exclusive" from the fine folks at the GLBC. This beer draws a clear, medium amber color with a white head that is about 1/2 inch when first poured. Settles to a medium sized org lining the inside of the glass along with a few spots of surface foam and a little bit of lacing. Aromas of somewhat toasty caramel malt sweetness along with some smokey malt tones as well. The taste is pretty much the same, with slightly toasted and smoked caramel malt sweetness followed by a nice hop backbone that creates a good balance. Spot on for this style. Has a crisp, smooth and frothy, medium bodied mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Easy to drink in the way well crafted beer should be. A solid effort here that is nicely done!
