Jun 22, 2008 On tap. Pours a hazy copper with a tall white head. I didn’t think it was too smoky in the aroma, it leans more towards earth, caramel, and grassy hops. A sip reveals considerable more smoke in the flavor, especially in the finish. The brew finishes dry with heavy, well-done bacon. Grassiness is noted throughout and a meager malty sweetness provides some balance. This is a competent smoked brew. The sign above our heads indicates this is 7.5% abv which I found quite surprising.

May 29, 2008 First smoked I’ve had. Talk about a beer that pairs well with a good sandwich. As expected, very rich and smoky on the nose. Light brown/copper pour, with notes of BBQ on the tongue and enough hops to retain the flavor of a good beer. Unique brew, but can’t compare it to others of the same style since this is my first. Good first impression.

May 12, 2008 Smokey with a strong hop aroma. Pours a dark amber with a thin white head. Strong hop flavor mixed with smoke and a big malt backbone. Smoked pine resin with some caramel in the flavor. Awesome beer!

May 6, 2008 Sampled from growler, courtesy Teege from redlight. Hazy copper color, bits of white head. Moderately heavy smoke aroma mixed with earthy hops, the smoke taking the front seat. The taste follows suit, with smoke coming through first, but a nice robust hop character is present and lingers on the finish. I really like the idea and it’s executed well here.

May 1, 2008 Courtesy Teege from RLRL. Amber. Small off white head. Aroma of grassy hops and smoked malt. Same flavor. Mostly smoke with a decent amount of hops. Medium body, balanced carbonation, easy drinking. Solid brew.
