Fireside Ale
Bottle received as an extra in a trade. Appearance: Dark brown with a nice 2 finger off white crown that doesn't retain much but leaves wonderful lacing. Smell: Touch of smoke, some toffee, and a nutty quality. Taste: A touch of smoke, nice roasted malt throughout, and just a hint of sweetness at the end...chocolate malt perhaps? Mouthfeel: Very nice IMHO. Medium bodied but chewy too. Drinkability: Very easy to drink considering its 7.5% and chewy. This is a nice session smoke beer. My sample didn't have much smoke but just a tasteful hint of it.
