Regarding smoked malts, Weyermann's Oak Smoked wheat is quite nice. In a Grodziskie, it provides only a moderate amount of smokiness as long as you target a low abv (around 3%) even though it's 100% of the grain bill. Combined with very high carbonation (3.2 vols CO2) it was a very enjoyable summer beer.
I did use it in another beer, but not enough of it to be detectable. I'm tempted to design something where it would be 1/3 to 1/2 of the grain bill, the rest being a barley base malt (maybe MO?).

Gruuk, that sounds awesomely bizarre.
I like the cut of your jib.

Chino needs to brew it alongside his 50% C60 beer.

I have 1 lbs of Cherry Smoked and 1 lbs of Mesquite Smoked malts that have been sitting for almost a year now. I feel bad because the smoke has probably faded. I should really use those soon.
Do you think 1 lbs of year old smoked malts would give much? What kind of beer? Thinking of brewing 2 of the same beer but with each malt. Maybe scottish 70, mild, or porter?
Suggestions?
Has anyone used the mesquite malt yet? Just came out last year.

Starter is spinning. I am stoked!
I have not personally used mesquite malt, but my LHBS guy did a mesquite wheat... it's pretty delicious. Tastes like barbeque smoke, big time.
