Nov 17, 2008 12oz. bottle, with thanks to Gregis. Pours a dark brown with a minimal tan head, minimal lacing. Aroma is smoky, slightly meaty, with a light roastiness. Flavor is more of the same. Well balanced, slightly watery, and not overpowering on the smoke. Well done and enjoyable, thanks for the chance to finally try this Greg!

Nov 1, 2008 Bottle. Big smoke nose with light chocolate notes and caramel/tootsie roll character. Black with a thin brown head but great lacing. Good smoke presence through the whole palate, among chocolate flavors and roastiness. Very clean palate with a slightly smoky harshness that is more assertive than offensive. Nice and clean all around.

Oct 21, 2008 Pours black with off-white head that reeks of burnt wood. Aroma is burnt wood, liquid smoke, and more smoke. Flavor is smoke but finished with some kind of copenhagen chew flavor. Very smoked but not as big as I would like with the flavor. My favorite all time is Alaskan this would be up there is they just balanced the smoked a little more. Otherwise a very drinkable and quite enjoyable.

Oct 19, 2008 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Let me say that smoked beers are far down the ladder on my favorite styles, but this pulls it off decently. Dark brown body with an off-white head. Aroma of tar, smoke, chicory, jerky (beef) and coffee. Taste is smokey with coffee and chcolate, meat and tobbacco. Slightly fizzy (which comes across oddly) with a water like mouthfeel.
