Aug 7, 2009 16oz can into glass. pours cloudy dark brown with some red highlights as well. head dissappeared quickly and left a white ring. smell is malty, no hops here! taste is malty with a little nuttiness also. but malt is the defining charachteristic. a little more smoke flavor would have made it perfect. slight coffee on the finish. im lucky that i live in missoula where its brewed to i can enjoy it often.

Aug 29, 2008 Can: Dark amber color. Nice head. Rich malts with light smoke, sweet peat, wood, toffee, brown sugar, toast and a nip of molasses. Things were kept on the light side, though, making it fairly easy to quaff. Light bitterness balanced things out decently. Not a bad beer.

Jul 1, 2007 In a 1-pint can from the Albertson’s in Belgrade, Montana. Pours a deep dark brown color with a slight tan head. Early malty aroma, medium body, full mouthfeel (a bit carbonated), malty-sweet flavor balance with a slightly dry finish. I’d take it camping or rafting.

Nov 30, 2008 I recently gave this to Presario in a trade and realized I had not yet rated it myself! Pours a clear deep copper with a moderate dense brown head. Aroma is chiefly chocolate, but with some undertones of cherry fruit. Interestingly, the chocolate takes a backseat on the palate, with toasty caramel and more prominent fruit coming forward. There is a hard-to-pin-down subtle spicy quality also (almost like dark rum), but no real smoke despite the name.
