COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Made with cherry wood smoked barley. Easy drinking deep amber ale with the smokiness inspired by the “blacksmith of the gods."

Sampled at Winterfest 2011: Nice malty consistency. Slight smokey aroma, which gave it an edge up on other Scotch ales I’ve had. Solid but unspectacular

Minnesota Winterfest 2011. Dark brown color with a medium head. Light smoke aroma and some maltiness. Very sweet malt flavor rounded off with some smoke. Pretty straight forward.

Winterfest 2010. Red color. Good smoke aroma, but it is much lighter in the flavor, but there nonetheless. Low carbonation and soft, smooth palate. Not as intense with smoke as Herkimer Doppelbock, but solid anyway.

UPDATED: JAN 22, 2010 TAP: at Great Waters, 1.24.09. The name on the board was Vulcanous Red, so I’m not 100% sure this is the same beer. Anyway - smoke on the nose, reddish/brown pour with a frothy fast dissipating head. Spice, smoke, and mild grape in the flavor, the taste was great. Fantastic beer!
