Jul 23, 2008 [Batch #72] Pours a deep clear, but very dark, ruby brown with a large foamy tan froth on top. Great aroma, smokey bacon and pineapple, sweet teriyaki, hickory with notes of candied cranberries. This is Thanksgiving in a bottle... smoked turkey jerky with juniper-berries on top. Really a great flavor. The light smoke and tangy berries meld so well together, with the berries being the stronger of the two, especially in the finish. Light glassy body with lots of large, but soft, carbonation bubbles. Lots of campfire and berries in the finish.

Jul 21, 2008 Batch 72, bottled April 07, imbibed July 08. Pours red/brown with a huge beige head. Aroma is lightly smoked and a bit spicy, with woody and nutty notes. Medium body. Flavor is burnt wood, smoke, earth, and grassy hops. The finish is dry and just a bit bitter. Very well put together, never over the top, just a very drinkable and tasty beer.

Jul 7, 2008 500ml bottle at The Rake, with renffisch, duff and harrisoni, 17th May 2008. Bottle was from batch 66, brewed Feb 2007. Dark reddish amber with a solid whitish head. Very unique and wonderful aroma - pine, juniper, wood smoke, herbs. Utterly lovely smoky malt flavours, balanced by a dry, lingering hoppiness. Not too heavy either. A very different, very, very enjoyable beer.
