ROGUE VOODOO DOUGHNUT BACON MAPLE ALE

Overreaching experimental smoked ale clashes peppery rauchbier-like meat curing against cake-frosted doughnut likeness for a peculiar mix that runs out of steam by its worn-out finish. Beechwood, cherrywood and hickory smoked malts make initial impression, contrasting pastry-like pancake battering, aromatic vanilla sweetness and syrupy maple sinew. Applewood-smoked bacon, glazed ham and charred cedar illusions get lost amongst crowded concoction in conspicuous bright pink bottle.
