Handwritten notes: A smoked beer like I’ve never had before. The taste is of a backyard campfire on a warm summer night. And, as a couple dudes from Iowa will tell you, beer and campfires go together. Imagine the clothes you wore to a campfire, which you also dumped beer on and slung off when you returned home. Picture them in your mind’s eye. Now smell them. That is what this beer is all about: a coffee-bodied spruce brew with nothing to hide but a few dirty magazines.
