mansquito (2493) - Nueva York, New York, USA - DEC 28, 2011
Trapp Family Lodge: Pours a black color with a beige head. Aroma is all smoky, roasty, and chocolatey. Taste is much on the same level. I liked the smoke flavors, but they were certainly not dominant. Roasted malt and chocolate made definite appearances. Well-balanced throughout. This was easily the best beer I got from the sampler.

MadRobin (989) - Silver Spring, USA - FEB 9, 2013
On tap in the lounge at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, VT. Opaque mahogany with small khaki head and good lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruit, smoke, toffee and caramel. Taste of roasted malt, smoke, dark fruit, toffee & caramel. The flavors starts off with roasted malt, but the smokey flavor quickly comes in strong. Medium body and high carbonation. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft. Pours a bruin body with an off white head and light retention. Light lagered tones, malty sweetness and a nice licorice tone. Dingy coco notes, with a mild coco and roasted finish. Alright.

Draft at Blind Tiger for Vermont event. Dark brune pour with some tan head. Chocolate and roasted malt aroma tones. Dark flavors finish with a bit of sweetness, does have some lager tones in the flavor.

craftycarl21 (2025) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - DEC 21, 2010
On tap at Bluebird Tavern in Burlington. Reddish cola colored pour with a small film of a head. Aroma brings wheat and sourdough breadiness to the forefront. Secondary notes include caramel, molasses, smoke, and rye. The flavor holds increased smoke presence and continued sweetbread and caramel. The mouthfeel is a touch thin, but really pretty tasty overall.

On tap at Farmhouse. Pours black. Aroma is primarily fig with some mild raisin notes. Pleasant flavor of fig, coffee, and some chocolate malt. Light body. I didn’t get any smokiness. I actually got more dark fruit than anything.

Black lager with a roasted, chocolate flavor and a smoky but not overwhelming finish. Great unusual beer.

On draft at Resevoir. The beer that nobody needed just wasnt very good. really tasted to me like burnt leaves smells. Just grainy, earthy, leaves, roast, and a little astringent.
