I absolutely love any beer with something smokey going on.

I've never tried the weast british ale yeast, but the white labs burton ale yeast worked great with a porter I made with some peated malt.

Brewed. I made a few changes. I added 50g of smoked malt and also 250g of Munich malt and 85g of chocolate malt and cutted the biscuit to 50g. Hops were 20g of N.B and 12g+12g of Fuggles.
That Swedish smoked malt has a nice aroma, it's smoked with alder tree and it smells like campfire. I tested the wort and it gives pretty strong flavor, which reminds like an aftertaste of single malt scottish whiskey, like Laphroaig. I guess it would be awesome combo with the german rauchmalt.
