Feb 18, 2009 22oz bottle tasted at J&J’s Friday the 13th tasting. I’m very impressed. Nice and smokey. Nice body. Light background homebrewish sweetness. I really like it. Like sitting at a campfire. Very easy to drink. I worry about a beer like this going to into production and becoming drier. I really like it the way it is.

Feb 9, 2009 The aroma is of smoke, soapy sweetness, chocolate. The pour is dark brown with a thinnish head. The flavor is soapy sweet, chocolate, caramel, and soft smokey salt. Was actually kind of creamy and very smooth with a nice crisp/clean finish. Enjoyable.

Nov 27, 2008 From a growler; poured a brownish color with a large light brown head. Aroma of smoke, chocolate, toast, flowers and soap. Very drinkable for the style; a nice smokiness. I actually liked this one alot. Some cocoa, bread, burnt toast, and oats. I really think this one is fairly underrated. Quite a surprise.

Nov 27, 2008 Tap at Downtown Johnnie Brown’s. Pale amber-brown beer with a creamy tan head. Great aroma. Soft smokiness over a lightly toasty malt base. Clean and crisp with a soft munich malt sweetness. Slightly briny with a fruity/smoky component that doesn’t work as well as the aroma suggests. Quite salty and briny without all that much smoke flavour. Quite astringent and not nearly as tasty as it smells like it should be. Meh.
