Bottled. Dark amber coloured. Very nice bacon or beef jerky-style smokiness in the aroma. Soft malty and smoky flavour. Some bitterness in the finish. Easy drinking and nice.

Smokey, chipotle-like aroma. Dark orange amber. Tastes like a spicy pilsner food. Bitter hoppiness. Would be good w/ onion rings.

Minimal head on this cloudy dark orange. Hop and smoke aroma. Trouble finding any malt, itself, tones at all. The fire place smelling beer revealed a robust flavor. "Mesquite" or "Barbeque" flavors abound. Best drank in Texas is my guess. Good substitute for dry ribs (flavor wise). Very good, but not my style - tastes so much like food to me.

From a 22 oz. distinctive Rogue brown bomber bottle with a blurb and info about the ale on side of the bottle. Made a good appearance, poured as stated, an orange hued amber with a nice sized, foamy pale tan head that slowly reduced to a sticky thin lacing. Had a good smoky aroma, to my nose, a smoky troutiness and a subtle charcoalness. Good carbonation and a smoky, textured, smooth medium bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. Very tasty, a big velvety meaty smokiness, hints of a sweet caramel maltiness, a buried, dry Pacman yeastiness, a smoked woodiness, traces of a peppery hoppiness and a dry, smoky finish with a lingering sweet, smoky alcohol presence in the palate, delicious.

Very smoky – made to resemble a German Rauchbier, and I think they have succeeded. Not your everyday tipple, but give it a try. A sweet and fruity taste, with both apple and apricot elements and a strong malt character, too. Enough hoppy bitterness, but all this is nearly overpowered by the smoked malt. A complex beer.

Dark amber with light haze. Sour aroma of wood smoke and caramel. Full body with creamy, caramelly malts. Light smoke hangs around but doesn’t say anything. A smoked beer that doesn’t taste like it wants to be a smoked beer. And what would the point of that be?

Poured a dark cloudy orange brown with little in the form of a head. Plenty of salty smokey bacon in the aroma of course, but little else could be discerned. Flavour profile was ok, but not great. However, the palate was pleasingly full.

A fairly weak offering in general, especially when compared to the traditional rauchbiers from Schlenkerla. Somewhat smokey with little depth--virtually no hops character and a thin malt profile.
