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.

On tap at Barleys, Asheville. Poured a copper color Aroma had no smoke and either did the flavor. this was just an average brew nothing special.

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Smoked? This didnt taste like a cigarette ashtray. Not a bad brew. I thought it was a weak american strong. Oh well. This beer was enjoyable none the less.

Fooled again! Tap at Barleys. Poured a opaque dark gold color with a small white head. Malts, hints of spice. Finished thin and gay.

UPDATED: SEP 30, 2007 On tap at Barley’s Asheville. Mostly clear brown-copper with a thin white head. Mostly malt with some spice and slightly sweet dark fruit aromas. Very light palate. Very malty start, a tad bit of spice. It managed to be both muddled and boring. I was surprised to see this as a smoked, since I didn’t detect a whole lot of smoke here.
