Jow (7283) - The Hop, Massachusetts, USA - AUG 7, 2022UPDATED: AUG 7, 2022 Dark brew light filmy head. Nose is campfire and brownie mix. Tastes of light smoke not over powering. Smoky campfire, light bacon, chocolate, earth. Fun time.
AirForceHops (14953) - Epping, New Hampshire, USA - AUG 7, 2022UPDATED: AUG 7, 2022 500 ml bottle shared Jow, thanks! Aroma is roast, smoke, ash. Flavor is the same yet not punishing. Kind of subtle. Sometimes I find these to be like drinking a campfire this isn’t quite as extreme. Softer.
Travlr (33765) - No fixed abode, New York, SLOVENIA - AUG 7, 2022UPDATED: AUG 7, 2022 Bottle courtesy of Jow, thank you very much! Dark clear brown color, few bubbles. Aroma of freshly baked then toasted brownies, subtle licorice. Taste starts sweet, lightly burnt brownies, subtle herbs. Tasty.

Svesse (14083) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - JUL 11, 2019UPDATED: JUL 11, 2019 (Bottle) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Smoky, malty nose with notes of caramel, tar, smoked ham, liquorice, chocolate, tamarind, roasted nuts, burning juniper twigs and orange peel. Malty, smoky taste with sweet liquorice, caramel, smoked ham, tar, tamarind, nuts, orange peel, chocolate, brown sugar and a sweetish finish with a mild bitterness. Slightly over medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and complex, with a rich smokiness. Nice one.
Bitterbill (3241) - Casper, Wyoming, USA - NOV 2, 2018Bottle has no dating.
It pours black but with faint red hues, big fluffy head of tan foam, respectable lacing.
Smells of milk chocolate, kinda nutty, smoky, really nice nose.
The taste is of caramel malt, milk chocolate, toffee, a bit nutty, smoky, on the sweet side but not too sweet. No discernible bitterness.
Silky smooth mouthfeel due in part to the light carbonation.
Very very enjoyable.

NikkTwist (6093) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 15, 2018UPDATED: AUG 15, 2018 Draft at Cinder. Very dark brown pour. Opaque but showed clear around the edges. No head, but this is likely an old keg. Smoky dark chocolate caramel malts. Black coffee with sugar. Burnt marshmallows. German liquorice. Hints of peat, vanilla, prunes, and dark berries. Well balanced. Some strong flavors but everything is under control.
tnkw01 (3704) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - JUL 13, 2018Bottle. Very pleasant smoke aroma that's most prominent when you first open the bottle. Taste is well balanced with a light smoky flavor.
jinroh (4531) - ESTONIA - APR 14, 2018Pours dark brown without any foam on top. Bursted out of the bottle but looks pretty flat. Smoky nose, cocoa and toffee. Interesting take, quite unique actually. Meaty and esthery. Taste is light and less smoky than I thought, cocoa, smoke and bit of bonfire leathery thing to it. Also a bit thinner than I thought but still works.
