Magic Hat Jinx

Formerly brewed at Magic Hat Brewing Company
Style: Smoked
South Burlington, Vermont USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Stein

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.

Brownish color with a small head. Aroma has some burnt caramel and sweetness with a light coffee roast. Not much smoke. Flavor is a bit light on the smoke also, fades fast. Some roast and malts.

Hardly a smoked beer at all I thought, very thin body, some bland flavors, the nose was a little roasty but not as much as I expected, another disappointment from this brewery

Yeasty aroma, no smokiness whatsoever. Cloudy ruby red appearance. Taste is yeasty, earthy, slight sweetness left on the palate. Not bad, but not great, and definitely not one of the better smoked malt beers.

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

amberish color, tan foam. nose is odd smoke and sweet malts. flavor is some hops sweet dried fruits and smoke. intresting but odd

Pours reddish brown with minimal head. Aroma is slightly smokey with roasty qualities of a dry stout. Flavor is much the same, with smokey aspects from prevalent.

I like the style, so I didn’t mind this beer. Decent flavor, not that smoky, but none the less a solid beer.
