3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
bottle. brown color with small head. Malt, sweetich, rounded fruit flavors. Id on’t taste the smoke at all. Enjoyable brew, not mind blowing, but quite nice.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Off white head with a dark copper/amber color. Strong fruity and malty aroma. Drief fruit in the flavor... I didn’t get any smoke and wouldn’t have thought that this was a smoked beer... somewhat sweet and sour as well... high alcohol not noticeable.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Brownish color. Malty aroma. Sweet, malty flavor, caramel and chocolate taste that I really enjoyed. A little heavier than I was expecting...I wouldn’t have it with a large meal. Pretty good beer.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
From a bottle. Pours a brownish/redish color with off white head. Sweet aroma. Tastes of light smoke, roasty malts, and some raisins and other dark fruits. Something about that little guy winking at me makes me enjoy this beer even more.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Yeasty aroma, no smokiness whatsoever. Cloudy ruby red appearance. Taste is yeasty, earthy, slight sweetness left on the palate. Not bad, but not great, and definitely not one of the better smoked malt beers.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle (rating from a while ago-found on receipt that had been through washer!). Pours dark, brown, some reddish qualities, and a medium off-white head. Aroma is yeasty, earthy, roasty, and a bit of wheat. Flavor is yeasty--tastes like a dunklebock to me, not getting any smoke flavor, rich, but not memorable. Aftertaste of earthiness... Okay, but not that great.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a thick, fluffy, almost light head largely consisting of microbubbles w/ some larger bubbles in the center (into a lager glass) yielding a light amber color. The aroma is sweet and salty and really reminds me of Alka Seltzer (I like Alka Seltzer). Sometimes the bottles contain a bit of sediment, but do not let that put you off. The aroma is persistently detectable, which is an oddity for me and my weak nose. The flavor is spicy and fleeting, a hint of bitterness and a a taste of sweetness. I used to treat this beer as a hefeweizen and drink it with wings, but lately I do not see the point. I think this is a fun beer to drink and is mild, which a lot of people could appreciate. I would have no problem drinking this on a weekly basis.
