pours transparent dark brown with a thin off white head. aroma is slightly nutty with a hint of alcohol. tastes of wood, very light smoke, and maple sugar. very little bitter edge, quite smooth. body is light. carbonation is mild. nice depth, and very drinkable.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a moderately dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma was lightly sweet and malty. The flavor was dry, tangy, nutty and slightly woody. There was a nice touch of smoke that did not overwhelm. The finish was medium length and dry with a lightly woody element. Interesting.

A fine dark brew with a light head. It starts out a little bitter, with notes of coffee and citrus, and the flavor of roasted grains. Then it shifts to a fizzy, hoppy finish - a nice blend of flavors, and probably my favorite Magic Hat so far!

great fall beer, love the smoke flavor in this one, always pars well with a good BBQ

Pours ruby-hued amber with a small bubbly tan head. Aroma is light overall with a caramel sweet overtone, a hint of hops, and something that resembles smokiness. Flavor is similar to the aroma, but with a corny sweetness, and no real woody or smoky notes that I could detect. Palate is medium and watery, but soft and fairly pleasant. Not bad at all, but as with most of my other experiences with this brewery, just not a whole lot going on here.

As with most magic hat beers that ive had, it has a very nice taste, but to thin, needs more complexity.

Medium body, medium taste until the smokiness kicks in near the end. Doesn’t taste like a sausage unlike some smoked beers, very nice.

Bottle from Party Source. Poured clear brown with an average brown frothy head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate woody floral hop aroma. Medium body with a creamy texture. Medium sweet smoke flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration.
