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.

Sep 19, 2008 On draft at Max’s. Wow, can you say smoky? Great balance with a touch of beef jerky. You can’t put this down, although a little too complex to quaff. Enjoy and look for the prunes in the finish.

Jan 28, 2003 A deep red beer with a good head. The aroma is tar and smoke dominated. And the flavor is very powerful and dominated by tar and smoke. Really a great beer.

Jun 14, 2007 Dark reddish-brown body without a head pretty much. As promised, there is intense amounts of smoke in the aroma and in the flavor. Those of you who know me, know that I don’t really tend to appreciate smoked beers too much, but overall, I can say that this one is very decently made: it is not "artificially" flavored, so luckily it does not taste like flacid bacon. It has a nice balance of moderate maltiness without too much sweetness and a clean, refreshing finish. Nice.

May 9, 2003 Updated: Nov 28, 2004Deep amber in color with a small frothy head. Excellent lacing. Aroma is that of smoke with grain. Flavor moderately sweet & bitter. Finish is slightly bitter. I’m not sure I could drink this all the time, but I did enjoy it. The smokiness was not overpowering. I recommend having it with a meal, I had one with a fat ruben sandwich, excellent

Dec 30, 2006 Interesting. I have put this one off for years as friends and pros would put me off with the smoked ham hock reference. Well the bark is worse than the bite, at least the bottle, as the tap version is very aromatic. Dark amber color, small head. Yes a noticable smoke aroma, country ham hocks spot on. Taste is mildly smokey, not nearly as bad as the liquid smoke I was lead to believe. As a positive I can see the potential with food pairings with this beer.
