Bottle Dark amber pour, decent head, no lacing. Thick Earthy aroma and flavor. A bit smoked flavor, but really not much. Pretty good brew, would have again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Poured from: 12 oz bottle. Drank from: Duvel tulip. Temp: cellar. Best by: end of 12/07. Color: murky, opaque brown. Head: off-white, bubbly, mostly fading. Lacing: light. Aromas: earthy, leather, smoke, salty air, decaying leaves, canned brownbread. Body: medium-ish. Texture: lightly oiled. Carbonation: somewhat biting. Flavors: mostly bitter, but with a mild sweet underbelly and salty overtones. Finish: bitter, with a burnt quality; slightly numbing. Overall: nice, complex.

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.

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.
