WeeHeavySD (1564), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Apr 6, 2008 8th Beer of the Beer Spot Tasting Sunday March 30th, 2008. Bottle provided by Tiptop, via the brewers at Surly. Pours black with a tan ring. Nose is low on the smoke, but its there adn nice. Taste is sweet and smokey but mellow, this is a drinkable complex smoked beer, something rare in the smoked category, its got some legs. dm9831 (530), Monee, Illinois, USA Mar 12, 2008 FoBAB 2007, under the name "DAHMER". poured dark dark black, no head. some fruitiness in the nose, and slight smokey air. falvor was floral, fruity, incensy and smoky. oily, creamy mouth feel. not a bad entry. bu11zeye (3572), Frisco, Texas, USA Mar 3, 2008 (Draft) Pours a black body with a small creamy beige head. Aroma of smoke, roastiness, brown sugar, plums, and raisins. Flavor of smoke, rye, dark fruits, and roasted malt. ajm (262), USA Feb 29, 2008 I’d have it again just for the name, but I gotta say that Victory Baltic Thunder on tap was more memorable for me than this guy. A great smoked flavor that only Aecht can beat, but all in all just a bit small to miss the higher rankings. alexanderj (1196), Roanoke, Virginia, USA Feb 21, 2008 EBF NOTB; aroma of chocolate, smoke and wood. Flavor was similar with sweetness and pronounced roasted elements. I thought I picked up on some smoked meatiness in the flavor.
