Year of New Beer: Maillard's Odyssey, Sierra Nevada/Bell's Brewery (CA/MI)

Nose is a nice blend of chocolate, campfire smoke, and earthy hops. On the tongue, the smoke tilts even more toward a charred aspect, with burnt sugar providing a layer of sweetness over a mild hop bitterness. The bottle says dark ale; one might argue porter. Either way, I really like this beer.
