Oct 27, 2007 10/26/07: Firk! @ Smokehouse
Brown-orange body with a yellow-almond colored lace which is xtra’ small, creamy and thick. Aroma is quite potent – vanilla & medicinal. Flavor is very spicy – cinnamon, clove, allspice (loads), nutmeg and some citrus. Glad I finally got a chance to try this one.

Oct 26, 2007 Hazy dark amber with a small head. Aroma of citrus hops and cinnamon. Flavor of mild pumkin, spices and hops. Pretty good

Oct 28, 2005 Lamenting my misfortune at arriving at the Smokehouse a few hours too late to try the
latest “Firkin Friday” offering, I casually spoke with “Lee” who unbeknownst to me is the
assistant to the Brewer of the fine ales of Barley’s Brewing. He managed to scrounge up
a shotglass sample for me to nibble on, though warned me of the potential “yeast hazard”.
Wondrous nose of pumpkin pie & medicine. Wow! Alcohol and cinnamon with vanilla.
What’s not to like? Almost a fruit beer. The brew is a cloudy medium honey amber with
no head. The brew is sweet, malty and alcoholic at the front accompanied by a warm
middle. The brew stutters at the finish, but retains a spicy quality. The medium palate is
soft, and creamy; but the finish feels dry. Thanks Lee!!

Oct 28, 2005 Pint firkin draft at the smokehouse. Pours a dark amber with not much head at all. Aroma of c-hops and nice caramel malts with a touch of chocolate. Flavor mirrors the aroma but with a little more fruit. A bit of pears and even apple. Palate is light not real carbonated and refreshing. This is a unique beer. Quite enjoyable!

Nov 4, 2003 Hints of chocolate. An excellent flavor without the heaviness. The bottle design is appealing as well. Good autumn beer.
