Aroma: Smoky, malty, complex, and alluring. No hops. Some spicy notes and even a touch of tartness. Reminiscent of bacon, campfire, and ash. Melanoidin and toffee malt supply candy-like sweetness.

Flavor: Full of malt and smoke without being sticky. Slight oxidation in the malt body is mostly hidden by the smoke. Some dark fruit (prune-like) sweetness. Smoky sweetness hits first and lingers in the smooth, warming alcohol finish. Aftertaste is crisp with a touch of ashy graininess.

Overall: A perfectly balanced classic. Good malt complexity plays well with the smoke to create a rich example of the style. The Scotch of beers! Incredibly smooth. Smoked beer fans, rejoice!
