| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 7, 2008 Qutie smokey and malty with great balance. There was a bunch of sweet malt in the mid-palate which was rich yet didn’t come off heavy. Another great one for a 4th of July BBQ. meyermc (2), , British Columbia, Canada does not count | 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 25, 2008 The smoke is impressive, tasty not artificial like smoked mozzarella. Cloudy dark honey color. Soft finish. Felt like like a light meal. sebletitje (1903), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 15, 2008 dark golden, hoppy and smoky.
Reminded me of smoked bacon/pork, one hell of a kick to it. Defenitaly a unique taste. Sharing a bottle is enough for me.
Enjoying the smoked taste might take some getting used to. Delirium (497), Santa Cruz, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 15, 2008 Draught. Pours hazy amber with a moderate off-white head. Aroma is light smoke with some nuttiness and light malts. Flavor is similar, heavy on the caramel malts, sort of an amber with a bit of smoke. Kind of an odd smoked beer; the smoke is much subdued compared to other examples I’ve had. Not bad, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 11, 2008 Hazy orange-brown, decent off-white head. Aroma is mostly hardwood smokiness with an underlying sweetness. The palate starts with a fairly intense smoke character, but the underlying caramel malt adds nice structure. The finish is surprisingly hoppy, quite fruity and very bitter. This worked for me-- I really liked it. Speedle (262), Mid-Atlantic (Tour 2007-2008), Virginia, USA
