By iteself, this beer might have been only OK. But I had it with some blue cheese hamburgers made on a charcoal grill, and the combination was great. The beer has a caramel maltiness, with some lingering smokiness on the tail end, that really enhanced the flavor of the food. Not a very complex beer, but really good with grilled food.
A "no duh" note: make sure to let this beer warm up a little from refrigerator temperature, because at it's coldest it had really no flavor or smell going for it.

Brown muddy color.
Tiny off-white head; slight lacing.
Caramel malt nose; where's the smoke?
Medium mouthfeel, bordering on thick.
Mild flavor of sweet malts, like an English Barleywine. No smoke present.
Pleasant but ultimately forgettable.

From tasting notes. L: Pours brilliant dark amber to chestnut with a 1” cream colored head that dissipates to film. S: Light to moderate smoke on the nose with caramel and malt. T: The smoke approaches Schlenkerla levels and seasons sweet dark sugars, fruit, a little cola, a suggestion of anise and some bitterness in the aftertaste. F: Creamy, full bodied, medium carbonation. O: While a little sweet, fairly well balanced between the smoke and other flavors.
