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.

Not very complex, slightly flat/mellow on the finish but still a nice beer.

You can read others break down of the beer, but heres what you need to know. This is not in the top 10 of Magic hat’s offerings, and I am a connoisseur of the VT brewery.

12 oz bottle courtesy of eaglefan538. Drink before Jan 09 notched on label Pour is mahogany, mostly clear, visible carbonation. Nicely formed 2 inch off white head. Aroma of cardboard, some malty nuttiness, slight synthetic sweetness, perhaps a hint of roast malt. Taste is quite a bit cleaner then the nose, mostly featuring the hazelnut maltiness and slight cherry sweetness. Sweetness is much less chemically then the nose, but still reminds me a little of cough drops. Palate is thin medium, a bit slick, quick forgettable finish. Thanks for sending this my way Brian.

Bottle. Terrible artwork. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Simple malty with some light hop bitterness, a vegetable aroma as well as something lightly smoky. Nothing great slightly metallic finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear brown amber with an off-white head. Aroma is malty and sweet. Flavor is sweet, malty toasted biscuit with mild smoke and vague hints of nuts, anise, and grapes. As it warms, a bit of cirtusy hops come out, but the sweetness really becomes a bit more of a sickly sweetness. I was close to giving it something along the lines of a 3.6 until the sweetness just became too much.
