sliffy (1930), Columbus, Ohio, USA Apr 5, 2007 Bottle: I’ve been sitting on this one for a while and I can’t remember who sent it to me, but thanks to whoever you were. Black pour with an off white head. Aroma, chocolate, coffee, and some nice smoke to it. Flavor, chocolate malts, some nice roasted character to it, and the underlying smokiness is just great. Really great beer.
mar (519), Dallas, Texas, USA Jul 19, 2008 bottle thanks to bhops. black pour with a huge 2 finger caramel head. smells like bbq, charcoal and malts. very smokey flavor that finishes quite nice with roasted malts. Bhops (170), Dallas, Texas, USA Jul 19, 2008 2007 bottle. Pours black/dark brown with two finger head. Aroma of ash, smoke and roasted malts. Flavor is also smokey.. all bbq and charcoal. Medium to thick mouthfeel. Good smokey porter. gotohelunc (325), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Jul 19, 2008 Bomber from Bottleworks. Deep black pour with a smallish head. Solid nose of chocolate, coffee, and smokehouse. Delicious flavors of super dark coffee and cocoa powder blend well with the meaty smoke notes. This is the least "meat" flavored smoke beer I’ve had, definitely the smoothest, and my favorite by a landslide. I really wish I could buy this locally as I’d love to keep some around and try aging. mbgrayson (41), Anaconda, Montana, USA Jul 13, 2008 2007 bottle from Liquid Solutions. Quite excellent. Good balance, rich and dark taste and complexion. This is one fine beer. Thumbs up! timfoolery (297), California, USA Jul 11, 2008 2007 bottle from Chuck and Laura in WA. This is the first beer I’ve had from the Smoked genre. It very much reminded me of standing next to a charcoal BBQ and drinking a dark beer. The palate was surprisingly smooth and the flavors were distinct (chocolate and licorice). Very interesting brew.
