It’s just not my type of beer - it seems well done for the type. Sampler at Princeton. Reddish brown body with a wispy head. Oily texture and overall sausage taste really just turn me off. Smoky flavor is a different direction that the one I want to go with beer. Lightly hopped, which is a negative for me. Well crafted, but hard for me personally to enjoy.

Dec 6, 2007 Hand-bottle sent to me a while back from Dickinsonbeer. Thanks Paul! Murky amber colored body with a thin head. Aroma is definitely smokey, but also has tinges of clove, anise, and yeast. The taste is complex, following the aroma but also adding in flavors of banana and lemon zest. Truly an interesting experience.

clear brown, whispy head, streaks of lace, smokey banana aroma, smokey malt flavor, nice slightly sweet banana character, just the right amount of sweetness to balance the smoke, light bitterness, the smoke and banana makes a nice combination

Aug 4, 2007 I really enjoyed this type of beer. Poured hazy yellow with fluffy white head. Aroma of a BBQ. A smoky flavor throughout with some fruit hints. Very different and very good.

Jul 4, 2007 This was a first for me at the Garden State Craft Brew Festival in June 2007. Triumph Brewing was by far the best at the fest.
