Surly Smoke

On tap at Stub's. Served in a 10 oz chalice like glass.

    Looks black and not-so-viscous with a small dark brown head. Tough to comment on other aspects of the looks. The smoke leaps out of the glass, followed by roast, dark fruit, and coffee. Not as clean as lagers typically are.

    Taste is equally "dirty" with notes of dried tart berries, powerful roast, and a strong presence of smoke in the finish. Medium body and high carbonation that's not to my liking but is apparently fitting for the style. Overall a good beer, but not for everyone.
