This beer looks and smells quite inviting, but somehow the flavors do not quite seem to pull together for this reviewer. All in all, the smoky smell is what saves it for me. Worth a try.

pretty watery but nice and choclately, I have to admit my ratings of all the traverse beers may be a tad high because the guys at the brewery were just so cool

Like the stout, this one smells really good - but as for the flavor, look out! It is very metallic, like you’re drinking it out of a steel can with traces of oil still in it.

The first thing to notice is the raging carbonation of this beast, lending to a strong intimation of cola in the flavor. The cola or root beer action is challenged by some roasty flavors, but they seem overmatched.
