BACON
Growler thanks to Mike. Pours black with small tan head that lasts. The aroma is strong roast, dark chocolate, oak, smoke. Slick body, roasted malt, cocoa, bitter finish, very good.
Growler fill from Hill Farmstead today. Enjoyed in a small HFS wine glass at slightly above fridge temp.
A - Poured with a very low amount of carbonation. Didn’t even produce a head..just a small ring of off-white bubbles. Medium/Dark brown with a lot of amber color around the edges.
S - A lot of smoke scent. Hints of almonds and walnuts, smoke (cedar and birch wood). There’s a hint of espresso bean.
T - Oh wow. Such a nice balance on this. Yes, it’s smokey almost like the ash from a campfire. However, there’s a hint of chocolate, some espresso and a hint of almonds. It’s a solid beer but the balance between the smoke and other flavors is unmatched.
M -
O - If you’re a fan of smoke beers, this is the ticket. It’s very interesting. I’m not a fan of this style but it’s still drinkable and delicious. I’m not a fan of this style but it is the best smoked beer I’ve had.
Draft at the Gingerman. Pours black. Nose and taste of smoked malt, vanilla and chocolate. Light peat.
