Apr 20, 2007 Bottle. Smoky aroma with some nutty scents mixed in there too. Deep, rich, smoky flavor slightly increasing with the aftertaste. Perfect for those chilly spring nights with your buddies.

Mar 4, 2007 Complex aroma of burnt nuts and light chocolate. Clear dark amber/brown. Not much in the way of a head hear. Starts off nutty finishes slightly bitter.

Feb 14, 2007 Jinx pours a light black color with an average, creamy light-brown head. Almost no lacing, coupled with a fully diminishing head contribute to a less than stellar appearance. Aroma is of light grain malts with chocolate notes and alcohol. Initial taste is moderately sweet, backing off to a light sweet finish with an average duration. Light body, dry texture, and lively carbonation make this a drinkable ale.

Feb 14, 2007 served on tap. poured a crisp reddish brown, with an off-white head. smells malty, with a hint of smokiness. it tasted excellent on tap, but somehow wasn’t so inspiring when served bottled. i couldn’t taste any hint of alcohol, just a light, excellent beer.

Jan 8, 2007 12oz - light tan head over mahogany liquid, smoky nose, smoke and malt on palate. OK but forgettable.

Jan 2, 2007 The color of Jinx is suspiciously light for a smoked beer, as it looks and smells much like a light bodied whiskey. Indeed, this medieval concoction is spirited as I would guess the alcohol content is somewhere in the high 7 (actually 6.9%). and unlike the Scotish reds whose smoky flavor dominates the palate, the Jinx’s incensed taste is veiled behind a sweet, nutty flavor; a "cured" brown ale that Sam Smith would be happy to have on an autumn evening.
A strange thing happened with one bottle from an earlier six pack--it was Jinxed! It smelled like a cigar’s ass and was exceptionally murky. Like most Magic Hat brews, it does best fresh, so keep your fingers crossed.
