COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Earthy, rich and steeped in autumn’s magic: it’s an ale of change. This potent infusion is haunted by memories of summer and the first frost on abandoned fields. Jinx prepares the bones for snow. It has the glint of golden maples at peak and finishes light as an ode to the fading sun. A bit of peat-smoked malt imparts a subtle hint of smoke that reminds us of fall’s bonfires. Available in the Fall.

Interesting, very lightly smoked flavor with lots of rich malt and just a tiny hint of hops. Not bad.

A very subtle hint of smokiness. Aroma is tart and caramel. Flavor is somewhat malty, nice tartness with a hint of smokiness. The least smokey of any smoked beers I’ve ever had, but many do tend to overdo it. Pretty decent.

Not a bad beer. I didn’t really taste that much smoke in the beer, but it was still a nice beer.

PilsnerPeter (2958) - Flushing, New York, USA - NOV 18, 2006
Doesn’t seem like a smoked. It has a brownish red color with almost no head. Aroma is mainly sweet malt, oatey, touch of peppery caramel. Thin bodied and simple flavor. Toasty malt, bready, but thin, underlying slightly sweet rye-like malt. Very little bitterness (if there is any).

Marsiblursi (2371) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - NOV 7, 2006
(Bottle) Pours hazy brown with green/grey edges. Chocolate, malty, alcohol-ish aroma with hints of mint/smoke. Slight salty. Lame, smooth mouthfeel with some chocolate. One dimentional flavour. Sweet, light roasted and some sour hints. Light to medium body.

The color is the best part, reminds me of an old stained oak dresser. the aroma is subtle but surprisingly elegant. vanilla cofee and red grapefruit. Rich creamy malt on the pallatte. it’s my favorite bottle design from Magic Hat to date.
