| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 13, 2007 Poured a pretty ruby amber with a slightly creamy mild tan head. The aroma was nice and malty, caramel, a lite smoked aroma, and some medium hop notes in the background. The flavor was smoked peat, malt, a bit sweet, lite hop background, mainly malt. Nice smoked. jezmez68 (332), Chesterton, Indiana, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 9, 2007 Draft from Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse. Poured a purplish brown, small to no head. Smells of apricot and annis. Tasted smokey and a little licorice palate. Very interesting beer, and totally recommended. jeremytoni (1089), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 7, 2007 From a bottle poured nice amber color with a fair amount of head. Flavor similar to an abbey ale. Light malt flavor with a hoppy finish. pforei (338), USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 3, 2007 Growler form the brewery. Dark mahogeny color, head starts strong but the party fizzles out, (could be that it was a growler). Malty, peat moss, earthy aroma and flavor with some chocolate. Drank this wiithout knowing it was a smoke ale. SwillNoMore (105), USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 12/20 | Sep 30, 2007 Didn’t really pull any aroma off from the beer. Head was next to nothing and quickly disappeared. Attractive Red color. Nutty smooth beer with a lite bite of hops at end. I’ll stick with the #9. Airlifter (116), Shawnee, Kansas, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 30, 2007 Dark caramel color with a little bit of off-white head. Moderate aroma of alcohol. Tastes heavily of alcohol...a bit of a sting to it. Some coffee and cedar overtones with a slight hint of smoke. Not bad for a smoked, which isn’t my favorite style.
