#360 Charleville - Tornado Alley

The aroma is malty with some hints of smoke. The color is a medium dark brown with red highlights. The head pours thin and dissipates quickly.

There is a smoky malt flavor to this beer. The malt is sweet with caramel and toffee flavors. The smoke flavor is noticeable and by no means overpowering. The only hop characteristic is a mild bitterness, the smoke might be covering the hop taste. The mouthfeel is medium and smooth. The finish is sweet and smoky.

This is a pretty tasty beer, the smoke taste is dominate but not over powering. A good use of smoked malt.
