Day 166-Beer 166 Church Key Holy Smoke Scotch Ale, Church Key Brewing Company Campbellford Ontario.

Another Scottish style beer but made in Ontario. This one is unique,  it is a strong 6.2%ABV dark ale that Scottish imported peat-smoked whisky malt, hence a peat smoked Scottish ale. It poured a dark chocolate, almost black colour with creamy tan coloured head  that left a thin film of cream across the surface. The smell was  hints of peat, chocolate toasted grains, roasted malts and just a hint of smoke. Very nice. The taste was caramel and roasted malts up front with a nice follow of just a hint of peat and lots of smoke that lingered in the mouth for just a few moments. Overall this was actually quite good. It is very smooth well balanced and quite interesting, definitely  a smoked beer. I'll have to try another of these and any other beers that Church Key makes. 4 out of 5
