Enjoyed in a pint glass

A: pours a perfectly clear medium amber color with a small amount of carbonation bubbles and an ample amount of head which lingers for a little bit before dissipating and leaving virtually no lacing
S: tons of smokey malt notes, reminds me a lot of the smell of clothes for a night siting by a campfire, i definitely notice the maple notes but only when I'm looking for them
T: begins with a nice sweetness on the tongue then moves into a nice smokey malt note, the smoked malts intensify during and after the finish of the sip, leaves a smokey note in the back of the throat, reminds me a bit more of smoked pancetta chips that more girlfriend makes
M: minimal carbonation tingle, thin and yet some how thick across the palate, leaves the mouth slightly dry
O: I actually find this to be one of the more drinkable smoked beers I've come across, I'm liking it more and more he more I drink of it and ya character has really smoothed out as it has warmed up

Definitely a different beer - I struggled through the first glass, but am now starting to enjoy it at the end of the bottle... ?! Heavily smoke-forward, there are definite maple and bacon notes - but overall a bit of a mess.

Pours a hazy light brown with yellowish tinges. Minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma of smoked meat, with an industrially sweet maple backbone. The flavour starts sweet with a malt basis, albeit no "donut" that I can discern. This transitions rapidly into a smoky, smoky finish – almost overpowering.

A very different beer and glad to have tried it, although buying one bottle would have been enough!

A pretty rough beer. I, for the record, have had the bacon maple bar from Voodoo, and it is delicious. When you try to put it in beer form, it is terrible. The smell is off putting right from the start: a heavy smokiness with a hint of sweet. I read a review on here that says it tastes like dirty grill water, and that's about right. The overwhelming smoke flavor sticks, in a bad way. It stays in your mouth too. Thank god I had other beer in the fridge. I poured out a twelve dollar bottle of this stuff. The only decent thing is the appearance, with a nice thick head and good lacing. After that abandon ship.
