From the brewer

Brewed with beachwood and cherrywood smoked malt, and aged in rye whiskey barrels, Smoking Wood is a delicious demonstration of what wood has to offer when it comes to beer. This imperial smoked porter is brewed with a hefty amount of rye malt, contributing to a full body and light spiciness. Toasty oak, caramel and vanilla flavors balance the smokiness, contributing to an intense yet refined flavor profile.

It's booziness was a little bit overwhelming, but it's smoked flavors were quite enjoyable.

A dry stout with some booze notes and a noticeable, but manageable, charcoal smoke flavor. Pretty good! I do feel like I've had this before, although there's no record of it.
2013 release
Good for a smoked beer, but I don't love smoked beers. Nowhere near as medicinal as an Aecht
