Racked to fermentor

Racked to fermentor, still OG 1.040. Needs much more time to go. Smoke clearly evident, but not to overpowering. Hops not to bitter, buth through the sugar cant tell where it will land.

Beer cleared well, but smoke is too much

Overall good taste, but clearly the smoke shines through. Malty and sweet, but the hops balance. Very drinkable, but smoke is too much.
