Dec 1, 2007 Hmmmm. Really dark in the glass. Piney aromas and some hop backing. Not as thick or as heavy as you might think on the palate. Plenty of malts, caramel and a nice malty finish, which is sharp instead of drying. I wish this would have been on the market sooner than December!

Nov 29, 2007 2007 bottle from Bauer Wine and Spirits in Boston, MA. Shared with Henning. Nose is nicely fruity, with some underlying caramel, hints of smoke/peat, and a little bit of hops. Flavor is hands down awesome. Wow. It just gets better and better as it warms. Still slightly fruity (but again not cloyingly sweet at all) with notes of peat, smoke, caramel and a little bit of maple. Slightly bitter finish. Terrific stuff.

Nov 27, 2007 Bomber. Pours a dark copper and had a medium sized off white head. Holding up to the light I can see a good amount of carbonation. Aromas of damp wood, light smoke, malts, and sweetened fruits. Flavor is malts, ashy wood, mild smoke. Almost like a very mild barleywine. Lightly bitter and dry in the finish. I really love this brewery and their bomber prices are always quite low. $3.99 for this one and it is worth every penny.

Nov 24, 2007 22 oz bottle. Almost clear red-brown with white suds. Grape, peat and some wood. Taste is sour caramel and sweet smoke with woody drying. Moderate carb, a little thin.

Nov 20, 2007 Pours a mostly translucent ruby amber with a medium creamy/bubbly off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, smoke, woody, some chocolate and sweet maltiness. Flavors of smokey, peat, earthy, candy sugar sweet malts. Some creamy vanilla notes, woody and some caramel. Nice flavor on this one. Well done.

Nov 20, 2007 22oz. bomber. Pours a cloudy dark copper with a light tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is of caramel, roasted malts, pears and a hint of peat. Flavor is of smoked malts, caramel, toffee and a slight fruit finish. Mouthfeel is smooth and velvety. Nice brew.

Nov 18, 2007 22oz’er ... poured reddish-brown with just a thin whisp of a top, quite still and sheeny. Wow, this has a butt-kicking aroma, full of smoke, peat and rustic atmosphere. The promise is delivered in the first sample ... ashy and peaty, this is a smoky, flavorful brew. I need some cheese in a bad way with this beer. Bit on the thin side, perhaps, but this is a darn good beer! (#3209, 11/18/2007)
