UncleKorm (255) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - NOV 27, 2012
Bottle poured a clear amber hue w/ small fully diminishing head. Medium aroma of sweet smokey caramel. Initial flavor light sweet finish is liquid smoke. This beer drinks like a watery BBQ sauce. It needs to accompany a meal, not one I’d drink on its own. Medium bodied, creamy texture and soft carbonation.

Patrickctenchi (1687) - columbus, Indiana, USA - NOV 23, 2012
Hazy, wood-amber with frothy tan head. Sent is smoked meat. Taste is caramel sweet and smoke... Malty... Light and a bit on the thin side... But still, quite good.

Carmel color. Thin off white head. Smoky nose. I don’t think I’m a smoky beer kind of guy. Not my style

ADesenberg (304) - Ohio, USA - OCT 1, 2012
Bottle: pours amber with a small off white head. Aroma of smoky bready nuttiness. The flavor is nutty, smoky and wood. It has a nice malt backbone, that evens it all out. Decent beer.

alobar (2300) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 22, 2012
Pours a clear copper color with no head. Aroma of smoke, grain, and caramel. Caramel sweetness with some grain followed by a distinct smoke ending. Decent- could be a little stronger.

onceblind (2535) - Denver, Colorado, USA - SEP 22, 2012
Tap at brewery. Clear copper with a thin white cap. Smells like British mineral water and weird dark eastern European bread, and a bit of peat smoke. Flavor is much cleaner, leaning on peat smokiness on a light semi-sweet body, with some earthiness and a bit of an herbal tone. A little too light but I like the tone of it.

Pours an amber color with a moderate head. Has a very heavy smoky smell to it that is very inviting. The taste is devoid of smoke, though not bad.
