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.

Rust colored pour with a 2 finger tan head. Somewhat sour dark fruit aroma with a hint of smoke and tasty malt. Moderate caramel and dark fruit flavors blend with some slight sourness and smoke. Medium body with an average amount of carbonation.

Bottle from a NYC deli. Dark brown glowin g beer, small head with fine lacing. Dark fruit, plums and sour cherries. A little smoke, but not much. Sour cherry finish, a bit cough drops, some mint?

Medium amber pour with a smokey sweet aroma. Sweet malt taste with smoke, and chocolate and berry. It was definetly odd but thats not a bad thing.

Pours to a nice dark copper with a thin, but long lasting beige head. The nose is heavy on malts and nuts. A deep smokey malt flavor with a lasting alcohol finish (especially if drank with food.) This brew tastes how fall feels.

This brew poured a dark brownish copper with barely any head. It smells of very sweet malt. It’s sweet and medium-bodied in the mouth and finishes sweet and almost smoky. I find it strange the flavors seem both strong but subtle. It’s a pretty interesting concoction that I can’t say I like a ton, but it was still worth a try.

This is not one of Magic Hat’s best...it pours well with a heavy malt flavor. It has a lingering aftertaste - a little like a barleywine, although somewhat smoother. It is a nice copper color, not as much foam as other smokeds. It is drinkable, but I probably won’t go back to it - I greatly prefer the #9 among the Magic Hat lineup.

From bottle. Pours cloudy brown with a small white head. Aroma of caramel and malt. Taste was similar to the nose. Not one of my favorite Magic Hats.
