Not quite sure, but I think it's being advertised as a rauchbier...
It's quite good - miles better than Holy Smoke...more smooth and with a cleaner taste...I'd say there's only about 15-20% smoke malt, but still pretty smoky.
Also had a tap of Peche at the Rhino - which I swear is the barrel aged...It tasted completely different...are there kegs of this stuff kicking around the city?

Perfectly balanced, a winner and hopefully a permanent in the line.
Sampled at the new Bar Hop on King West, Sammy in attendance (who liked it too).
Hadn't seen Rob, a co-owner, since the days of Smokeless Joe when it was on John Street. The new place has all the makings of a first class beer bar downtown, e.g. there was a gleaming hand pump pouring Canucklehead (dry-hopped Crazy Canuck). According to Harry who had tried it earlier it was tasting just fine.
