Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Stein

12oz. Bottle: Aroma is a little bitter. Smells of malts, herbs, earth, and a little smoke. Poured brown in color with a small, off-white head that diminished quickly. No lacing. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is very malty. Tastes of malts, chocolate, smoke, bread, cookie dough, and wood. Light to medium body. Thin texture. Average carbonation. Salty, sourdough finish. Overall, a thin, ugly beer with a nice taste.

On tap, pours an odd brown color with a crisp, bubbly head that was more fizz than foam. The scent was of honey, malt, dates, nuts and alcohol. A thin mouthfeel and strange play on the palate. A very strong spicey presence going on.

Smoke aroma and flavor is minimal. Brownish color and thin body. A very bland drink.

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

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.

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.

xxx not my favorite beer, i was expecting much more out of this one, it was drinkable but i would not go out of my way for it.

12 oz. bottle. had the body of a porter or possibly a stout. Not a big fan of this brew.
