i guess your smoked malt was less smokey than mine.  i put  1lb in and it was certainly more smokey than tumbler.

Mine was too but I used close to 12-13% smoked malt.

 

I will be drinking mine with BBQ this weekend!

I rewrote the recipe to indicate using 1/2# 80Lsmoked crystal malt and 1/2# 80L to account for it, I need to by a fresh Tumbler 6er to do a side by side

Too bad you can't brew it again next fall because you don't make the same beer twice!

I have  put it into my newly created "to be revisited" file in Pro Mash 

 

I'll likely still tweak it, since the LHBS stopped making that malt
