Oct 5, 2006 Tap, O’Brien’s. This brew pours a dark amber color. Aroma is fairly smokey. This reminds me of a barbeque or something. Good smokey flavor up front. Followed by a little bit of a hoppy bitterness. A bit of malt as well.

Feb 5, 2007 Draft @ homebrew shop. Poured a clear dark copper color. The aroma had a great balance of mild smoke, fruitiness and caramel malt. Notes of cereal as well. The flavor had mild but obvious smoke with a crisp malt. Hoppy finish.

Apr 24, 2008 Draught Fine head over copper-chestnut coloured beer. Smokey nose, slightly phenolic, Lapsan Souchong tea; Sweet and smoked - a bit too sweet, somehow molasses-like, and again Lapsan, as well as some smoked ham. Reasonably bodied, quite smooth and slick.
