RobertDale (1875) - Lansing, Kansas, USA - MAY 19, 2012
12 ounce bottle. Pours a reddish brown with an average tan head. Aroma of roast, yeast, and malt. Taste is roasted malt, caramel, spices, smoke, and a bit of hops. OK.

rollinsr (246) - Atlanta, GEORGIA - MAY 17, 2012
Pours a clear amber with virtually no head. Aroma is sweet and nutty with some caramel malts. Taste is also nutty with smoked character to it and a nice sticky and syrupy aftertaste with a good bit of carbonation. Pretty solid sessionable beer that has some good smoked malt character to it.

JFGrind (1715) - Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 30, 2012
Smokey aroma, caramel flavor with light bitterness. Iced Tea appearance with micro thin head. I like the session 4.5% ABV, However, the body of ’Z’ is thin.

dmschefke (560) - Macomb, Michigan, USA - MAR 26, 2012
Pours a copper amber with medium off-white head, minimal lacing. Aroma obvious of clean smoke, mild caramel malt, and herbal hops. Flavor matches well and makes for an interesting drink.

12 oz bottle from BevMo Salinas. Nose is light smoke, sweetness, toffee, and butterfat. Clear rust color with a small beige head. Flavor is bitterness, smoke, white pepperiness, and caramel. Finishes lightly bitter. Like a smoked scotch ale in a way.

HonusWagner (890) - Florida, USA - FEB 14, 2012
Um, what the hell is this? It smells like a brown or scottish ale, a bit nutty, and the taste is a bit sweeter with a kind of oddly cola-esque taste. Sure, why not.
