Sample of both the firkin and wild fermentation versions at the Big Tap In on 04/21/2012. Notes on the regular version. The beer pours a murky dark amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes quickly. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of smoke, malt and caramel. Medium do full body with a smoky character and flavors of dark malt and hops. The finish is smooth and leaves a charred malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

I would like just a bit more smoke flavor from this beer but thats just a personal preference. It was very good and certainly had a puch of alchohol. This is certainly a great beer for a scotch drinker on a break. With a little more smokyness I would have to give this beer top ratings on palate and aroma. This brew pub has surprized me with everything I have tried.

The stronger beer out of the eight I’ve had at the brewery. Quite alky strong initially, imparts an unexpected wallop, even for a 8+%. Aroma of slight sweet perfume, yes a bit stronger than I like. Decent CO2 and I think I’m getting a tad dizzy form this. The aroma of this stuff gives no hint of the taste. Malty fer sure, almost over the top maly but never quite gets there. A little medicinal on the finish but is still OK compared to most beers in this rude style.
