Amazingly good beer, but some might find that the smoke flavor makes it an acquired taste.

Overpowering smokey flavor. Previous reviewer suggested it is an acquired taste. This reviewer doesn't expect to acquire that taste. I appreciate smoky beers and food, this one had the dial turned far too high.
Overall - 2.0
In a word, this beer is undrinkable. Despite being a fan of higher end, full-bodied beers (favorites include Utopias, Sam Adams black lager, Becks dark, Sam Smith's oatmeal stout), this one is simply too much. Tastes like you shoved your head into a fireplace that has been smoldering for hours.
