Apr 16, 2008 One of the most distinctive beers I’ve had. Loved it. Had it right at the brew-pub in West Yellowstone on a snowboarding trip. Goes down smooth and leaves you a smoky after taste to enjoy. Great session beer. Cheers!

Dec 15, 2007 On tap at the 2007 GABF: Pours a transparent copper amber with a nicely-lacing light tan head. Good, rich, smoky nose has some toasted pale maltiness and peaty complexity. Body starts with good viscosity and sweet caramel malt with big smoky balance. Very true to style and well-made.

Jul 1, 2007 On draught at the brewery tap room. Marked 6.0%, pours a dense dark brown with a lasting lace and early smokey aroma. A creamy mouthfeel with a medium body and subtle smokey character. An even dry/sweet malty flavor balance with a late dark malt emphasis and dry finish.

Jun 15, 2007 @Mountain Beerfest-on tap-pours a disappearing white head with bubbles and dark copper color. Aroma is mild smoky, medium/dark malt-caramel. Taste is wood/smoky, medium/dark malt-caramel. Occasional. OK/mild carbonation.

Sep 15, 2006 Not rated under optimum circumstances (a three-day-old growler) but I liked it so much I felt compelled to sing its praises. Light reddish-brown in color, with a pale cream-colored head. The aroma was of sweetly smokey malts (mesquite, maybe?) and pleasantly subdued. The flavor revealed a bit more of the wood smoke and sweet malts. Medium- bodied. Nicely balanced, not overdone.
