Jul 22, 2007 Now I’m not saying this is a bad beer. I’m just saying that in my opinion, it’s horrible. The Smokey maltyness ich-spit-phoeigh flavor prevented me from finishing one bottle. Sent it to our enemies and they will surrender at once

Jul 16, 2007 Delicious smoked character really brings life to this stout/old ale. Roasted coffee and chocolate flavors built a solid base, smooth and very full bodied. Light earthy moss flavor mixes with the smoked malts in the finish. Mine doesn’t pour red ruby wine like the description, more dark chocolate black with red hues against the light, like a nice stout or porter.

Jun 25, 2007 A beautiful black pour with a little white head. Strong chocolate and malt aroma. Intial taste is fairly light, but the after taste is a very strong smoky taste. A definate must try.

Jun 20, 2007 A Sim rate (bottle from Whole Foods):
Spicy aroma of cloves, toffee and red wine. Rich and tasty. Roasted malt flavour with a chocolate coffee finish. Just my sort of thing. Ah... the coffee is still lingering. I love it. Very nearly opaque with a tinge of translucent mahogany.
