Smoked malt is one of the more dubious tools in a brewer’s bag, because thresholds are vastly different. What to one palate is a hint of bacon, or a whiff of BBQ, to another is ashtray or Band-Aids. How can Carton ignore playing this game? Where smoldering aromatics go off the beaten craft? In TO BE BLUNT we have reassembled the deconstructed aspects of blunt wrap. Rich dark malts brought smoky by the addition of oak smoked pale wheat, touched with Irish Cream and a heavy plug of hops that smell like their cousins. Drink TO BE BLUNT and hand me a 50-pack down.
