Magic Hat Jinx

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

The smokiness is quite understated making way for the typical creamy ale character of MH, leaning towards an english strong ale. Overall a nice beer if you aren’t looking for a stromg smoke character.

12 oz bottle, part of the Night of the Dead 12 pack. Pours a dark brown with a rubyish tint. Is rubyish a word? Spell check doesn’t think so. The aroma is hard to place, I am quafting a smoky plum smell. The taste? Flavorful, malty, smoky, with some plum/raisin sugary type overtones. Solid mouth feel. Definitely worth a try. Especially watching the Sox in midst of a fall pennant race, and watching Lowell hit a three run dinger over the Monstah.

brownish red color, little head, decent aroma, malt with some smoke. flavor is ok, a little sweet and a hint of smoke on the finish

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??

on tap at Bar 6, NYC. chestnut colored, light amber at the edges. mostly clear. light tan foamy head. aroma of toffee malt, caramel too. peaty aroma is hardly there. flavor is lots of toffee malt, some wet burnt hay but not strong at all. light ashen aftertaste. had this served at my wedding 4 years ago, and I remembered it being a little bigger then. still pretty smooth for a beer approaching 7%

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a moderately dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma was lightly sweet and malty. The flavor was dry, tangy, nutty and slightly woody. There was a nice touch of smoke that did not overwhelm. The finish was medium length and dry with a lightly woody element. Interesting.

scotch style with significant peat. Full of flavour without the smokiness of a true smoked beer. More like a smooth single malt scotch

Poured dark ruby wiith a small creamy off-white head. Aroma of sweet grapes and bubble gum. Taste is lightly sweet with a touch of vinous grapes and a slight hint of smoke. Overall, somewhat mild in body and flavor, but balanced and agreeable.
