“Nice bready pilsner malt aroma with a touch of spicy hops. Despite the malt-forward aroma, the flavor delivers a strong hoppy message. The malt is still present but lurks behind a moderate spicy hop flavor and assertive, but clean, bitterness. Not quite as pronounced as a German pils, but it’s approaching the border.”

Rich malt palate in the aroma, like a smoked cup of spiced chocolate; the smoke adds layers to toast, caramel, hints of fig and raisin, cardamom, dried cherry. Caramel shifts to toffee on the tongue, adding some roast and plum to the mix. Rich without being overly heavy or chewy. Smooth and seductive smoke, suggesting aromatic pipe tobacco. Definitely something for the fireplace on a cold evening.

“Nice woodfire smoke character in the nose, resinous and meaty but not ashy. Cracker-like malt aromatics and floral hops. Finely balanced flavor, as sweet grainy malt adeptly stands up to the smoke. Floral and perfume-like hop bitterness. Finishes clean and crisp.”
