Brewed with beachwood and cherrywood smoked malt, and aged in bourbon barrels, Smoking Wood is a delicious demonstration of what wood has to offer when it comes to beer. This imperial smoked porter is brewed with a hefty amount of rye malt, contributing to a full body and light spiciness. Toasty oak, caramel and vanilla flavors balance the smokiness, contributing to an intense yet refined flavor profile. The previous release of Smoking Wood was aged in rye whiskey barrels while this more limited version was aged in bourbon barrels, contributing a different nuance to the already complex ale.

    Intense yet refined is dead on! No way did i think this was 13%. Warmth, yes. Heat? None. I've never had the base smoking wood, but was told this took off all rough edges, which i beleive. My new favorite from an already awesome brewer! Black as night. Flavor and aroma intense well blended mix of vanilla, dark chocolate, roast, bourbon, oak, smoke...holy hell this was good. Super smooth. Had to go back for seconds! In the bottle, MF and flavor a half point lower each, but I'll leave at a 4.6 for now. Draft was one of the best I've had in a long time. Low carbonation in the bottle, and a little "meaty". Still awesome! 4.6+ tap 4.4+ bottle
