Aug 9, 2007 this one was quite good...pours ruddy brown with medium beige head..aroma of smoke, heavy chocolate, and touches of peanut...body is quite similar (very porter-esque) with more of an emphasis on the smoke..body has touches of spice; mildy bitter finish...nice

Jul 31, 2007 Pours a deep bronze body with light carbonation under a fleeting, almost-tan head. Enjoyable aroma rings of an Old Ale/Scotch Ale rather than a smoked. Some peat and moldy leaves; pralines in a musty crawlspace, drizzled in caramel; alcohol lurks. Thin flavors are a let-down. A mouthful of peat and earth isn’t as appealing as a noseful of the same. Mild fruity sweetness and a kick of scotch & water. This isn’t bad, I’m just wishing it was fuller in body and more bold in flavor.

Jul 9, 2007 Pours a deep brown with a small white head. Aroma is of licorice, with wheat and earth notes. Taste is very smooth with spicy notes mingling with the wheat and earth characteristics. A solid seasonal, nothing special but good.

Apr 26, 2007 gets points for originality. thinnish astringent type brew settles some in the glass. earthy sweetish licorice flavor that is light. the smokiness is decently infused into the concoction, but i kept thinking ’"liquid smoke". little bit peppery with another spice as well. gets a point or two since it clearly is a good beer with strongly spiced subtle (vegetables) asian type food. it competes well in that area.
