Jul 1, 2008 This amber ale poured with a decent tan head and an aroma like a brush fire. The flavor is unmistakeably charred wood with a substantial malt base. In spite of the smoke, this is actually an enjoyable drink, but not for mass consumption.

Jun 27, 2008 This one really messed with my head. It just tastes plain weird in the beginning, but after a few sips you get used to it. At the end of the bottle, I actually liked it.
Appearance: Dark chestnut. Nice amount of head.
Aroma: Smoked malt. Burnt wood.
Taste: Really smokey. Malty. Burnt wood.
Info: 500ml bottle, 22/2-2006, 80/300, 47/500

Jun 20, 2008 Poured pitch black with a beige head. Aroma - hickory smoke and malt. The smoke clearly dominates this one. The nose is like when you come inside after standing around a campfire for a few hours. It’s way over the top. There is some dryness and bitterness and maybe even some roast malt hiding behind the smoke. Very unique, but not to my taste.

Jun 18, 2008 1/2 L bottle from Once Upon a Vine....but definately not my first. Pours a clear dark amber with almost no head. Aroma is straight from the smokehouse along with carmelized malts and some spicey hop aromas buried deep in the smoke. Carmelized malt flavors yeild to smokiness and the hop bitterness fights to catch up from behind. Finish is somewhat dry with a bit of residual hop bitterness and smoke flavors. Wonderful.
