Sep 20, 2005 Tap, Buffalo Brew Fest. Medium amber color, off white head. Mild aroma, a bit of spice, brown sugar. Flavor is malty, earthy, with some caramel, brown sugar and lacking smoke. Medium bodied, fairly easy drinking for having moderate strength. Somewhat enjoyable but leave it to Magic Hat to make a smoked beer with no smoke flavor.

Mar 4, 2006 Dark brownish amber w/ thick, creamy finger of tan foam. Aroma is nutty & mildly smoky w/ some notes of chocolate. Medium-light, somewhat watery feel. Flavour is chocolaty & nutty w/ a hint of caramel & maple sweetness--though overall somewhat bland.

Nov 6, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear brown with orange hints and a thin soapy tan head. Aroma is malty. Lots of bread, dough, fruit, and a touch of smoke. Flavor starts off fruity. Apples and caramel then gets to dark flavors of brown sugar, peat, toffee, raisins, and chocolate. The peat and smoke is not very strong but lends a drying earthy finish to the flavor. A little watery fades to the flavor of spit too quick. I like doughy notes in beers and magic hat seems to always produce that note. Decent.

Feb 4, 2009 Good smoked porter, but not quite on the level as some of the great ones (Alaskan Smoked Porter, for example). Brownish amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma is malty and a little smoky. Nice roasted malt on the flavor, but could use more smokiness. Taste is mildly sweet. Mouthfeel is medium, maybe a tiny bit thin.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange copper color with a small off light tan head. Light yeasty spice on the nose. Thick honey feel in the mouth, with very fine carbonation. Light mildly sweet finish. Overall a very nice but almost muted beer. I feel as if there could be a little more boldness here.
