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.

orangish red colour. thin cream head. Odd aroma i can’t define. unique taste. seemed like smoked woodchips of somesort. Aftertaste hint of roasted coffee beans. Pretty neat brew. Dry finnish.

(draft) Crystal clear copper body topped by a beige head that leaves great lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, earthy, some fruit, light anise. Taste is medium sweet, cherry, earthy. Watery light-medium body. Pleasant but innocuous -- not much there. Smoked??

Thanks go out to slob for sending this one my way! A large, frothy mocha head sits on top of this clear, dark amber beer. Lightly malty yeasty aroma, but little smoke. Starts with some malty sweetness and finishes with a spicy tang in the finish that reminds me of either a rye or wheat beer finish. Fair, but nothing really exciting here. I never did get much of any smoke aspect from this, I don’t know if that is good or bad??

I think this is the first smoked I’ve ever had. The smoke flavor comes out in the after taste. Tastes and feels alot like a english pale ale then comes the smoke. Not a good brew.

Aroma starts off pretty smoky with the massive, creamy head this thing pours, but dissappears into pretty much nothingness once the head is gone. Flavor is extremely malty, kind of like a creamy cookie. Pretty robust flavor, quite nice.

OldGrowth (1782) - North Carolina, USA - NOV 11, 2005
On tap@ Brew City. Ok nose, Lite chocolate, Smokey, woody, moldy, peaty. Clean orangy dark brown color, Good head that faded quickly. Roasty flavors Like aroma with some citrus, lime/grapefruit. Medium body, creamy oily mouthfeel, sweet, little zingy, finish. Nice beer, thoough served too cold. Thought I got a wheat thing though I don’t see any other comment on that. Nice beer IMO
