| 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Oct 4, 2004 Updated: Aug 16, 2007Rerate - I really liked this before so I figure it’s time for another go-around. Pours a beautiful clear dark brown with a reddish hue and a thick, tight off-white head. Aroma is GODLY - roasty smokey hickory ham and beef jerky- very, very prominent. Flavor starts off with dark caramel, a pinch of roastiness then, a ton of smokehaus wood/meat, bread and a hint of pipe tobacco. Pleasant light level of sweetness; very well-balanced. Ends with an earthy/herbal noble hop character and a tinge of pepper. Medium bodied with a smooth texture and perfect lively yet, non-prickly carbonation. Leaves great lacework. Just exploding with flavor AND extremely drinkbable. A masterpiece. Finn (1510), Tromsø, Norway
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Feb 20, 2008 Draught at Battersea Beer Festival 8 Feb 08. Dark brown colored.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 27, 2004 Dark brown body with reddish glints. Thick, dense and lasting beige head. Unique and robust smokey nose that carries some hints of hickory, Prague ham and spices. Taste is less pronounced than I was expecting. Carbonation is moderate and the notes of ham are quite present, especially in the final. Smoke dominates that wonderful drinking experience from A to Z. shadey (1501), Rochester, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 12, 2004 Bottle: The color is a redish brown with plenty of sediment. Well carbonated with a thin line of head around the edge of the glass. The aroma is enticing. The woody, smoked, char smells all mingle in your nose and remind me of well cooked bacon. It goes down smooth with all the smokey flavor hitting in the aftertaste. Very tasty in small doses. Perhaps a smaller bottle would be a better idea. I imagine this would go exceptionally well with a ham dinner, or even BBQ. Different, but quite enjoyable. 17thfloor (1501), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 23, 2008 Pours a deep glowing garnet with a large frothy creamy beige foam. Smoked ham aroma, salty and slightly sweet. Heavy mouthful with sparse but lively carbonation. Sweeter malt taste, lots of wood and smoke, salty, with a unexpected dry and bitter finish. Like pouring sugar on a campfire.
