This deep brown, smoky ale is brewed with pilsner, Munich, roasted and caramel malts as well as a healthy dose of beechwood-smoked malt from Germany. Some breweries just age their beers on beechwood. We think this adds more character. The smoked malt from Bamburg, Germany is a classic used around the world for a fine smoke flavor and aroma. Caramel malt adds sweetness to mellow the smoke and northern brewer hops add further balance to this unique beer.

    After being so spoiled with all the O'Fallon Smoke I drink, I was still pleased with this nice smoked porter. Not enough smoke in the aroma, but it came through in the mouth with a nice maltiness and balancing bitterness. Smoked porters rule.

    Poured this from a growler. Had a nice chestnutbrown color with a thin head. Had a nice malty aroma with a touch of smoke to it. This was a very nicely balance brew with a nice smoky malt flavor. It went very well with my bbq.

    From a growler. Poured a clear, dark-brown color with a small, light-brown head. Strong lacing. Nice, smooth mouthfeel. Strong smoked-malt flavor. Very strong on the smoked part, especially the aftertaste. Very solid beer. If you like smoked beers, you would really enjoy this offering.
