Pours a nice orangish-copper. Smell reminded me of when my little sister put my G.I. Joe in her EasyBake oven, ooofah. Didn’t taste much better. Don’t know if it was a bad bottle, or I’m just not fond of the style. adrian910ss (1410), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Nov 27, 2006 tastes like smokehouse barbeque. i suppose this is rogue’s version of the rauchbier. they do a fine job. it’s more malty than hoppy, but the hops do add a nice spicy flavor to the smokey brew. also, caramel on the initial taste, followed then by burnt esspresso beans. the smoke flavor is best compared to that of a campfire; burnt pine without the sparks flying up in the air. it’s drinkability increases with pizza in front of you. food can really bring out the flavor of this particular beer. the smoke flavor increases once it’s taken in. dry mouthfeel. it’s a meaty beer. it coats the tongue the same way a nice heavy cab sauv would. excellent!

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 22, 2006 bottle - Pours copper with a moderate head. The aroma is malty with lots of smoke. The flavor matches it with very obvious, assertive smokiness. It’s fairly sweet and quite drinkable, but I really think the smokiness is too dominant. Nevertheless, it’s good and definitely worth trying. hiphops (280), caldwell, New Jersey, USA
