Jun 23, 2008 aroma is a bbq pit, smells like sausages and apple smoked bacon. pours amber with 2 fingers of head that don’t stick around for too long. flavor is nice and smokey, yet not in an overwhelming way. I think this is a bit less intense then German versions, but features all the same flavors. a great beer, don’t know why it is so underated.

Jun 8, 2008 Draft at Brick Store Pub. Pours a rosy, orange color. Thin, white head. Smoky aroma with wood notes. Flavor is also smoky. It’s not too overpowering, just right. Also tasted a bit of cured meat. Finish is funky, some leather and hops.

May 13, 2008 Dark amber pour with a clear white head and nice lacing on the glass. Very smoky aroma, almost like a sweet barbecue sauce. Very smooth flavor with balanced hops and malt. Lots of smoke on top of that. The smokiness can be overpowering. Not a bad beer but not for me.

May 1, 2008 On tap at George Keeley. Amber with a small head but this bartender can’t pour beer for shit, so... Anyway, nice smokey aroma with a mellow hoppiness. The flavor isn’t punch you in the mouth smoke but it’s in there fo’ sure. Sweet without being sticky with a nice caramel flavor.

Apr 21, 2008 Draft @ Frisco’s. Pours a bright, clear orange-amber color; thin off-white head with patchy lacing. Light amounts of smoke and sugar in the aroma; toasted wood, char, smoked ham (maple?); not intensely smoky, just pleasant. Medium mouthfeel: shows much more smoke and oily charred malts than the aroma suggests; sugar, roasted meats, and pleasant, almost fruit smoke character; if anything, a touch too sweet. Medium finish, showing sugar, smoke, and a bit of char.
