| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 7, 2009 Dark pour with light, cream colored head. Aroma of dark chocolate, cocoa. Flavor is mostly rich dark chocolate with some notes of smoke and burnt wood. Maybe a bit of caramel and cookies as well. Medium mouthfeel, decent carbonation. Lingering chocolate finish. curly (770), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 16, 2009 Draft pour is dark brown with a puffy tan head. Chocolate and toffee aromas. Thick creamy texture and a good bitter chocolate taste. I never realized it was only 4.1% until now and that explains why it’s so easy to drink, but also that means i may go with something else on my breaks at work. shadey (1501), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 14, 2009 12oz bottle. Dark brown pour with only tiny wisps of head. Aroma is mildly smokey and chocolaty. Flavors are much the same. Smokey, mildly roasty. This is way better than I had expected. durhambeer (1245), Durham, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 9, 2009 Yeah, so I didn’t read the label so well and was expecting a light lager. Imagine my surprise! Dark brown pour with small beige disappearing head. Aromas of roasted chocolate malts, burnt sugar, toffee, and molasses. Bit of smoke. Sweet, but not cloying or heavy. A pleasant surprise. kimcgolf (835), Dacula, Georgia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 23, 2009 Poured from the bottle to a dark brown with medium thick bidge head that lingered thru mid-glass and left okay lacing. Aroma was a pleasant mixture of chocolate malt with a hint of smoked wood. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and the taste highlights the choclate, toffe and hint of smoke found in the nose. Unlike other smoked beers I have that are way too smokly, this was just the right tough to offest the malty sweetness, ending in a nice rounded finish.
I’d like to have this again, next time with grilled sausage. MrBunn (1566), Western, Pennsylvania, USA

Aromas are a little bit chocolatey with a touch of spice and some malt roastiness. Flavor is kind of thin but a nice mix of dark and chocolate malt. ben4321 (1061), Rockville, Maryland, USA
