May 25, 2008 Bottle shared at the Carolina Crew Gathering at Turd’s – thanks to Oldgrowth for sharing the bottle. A nice dusky brown pour with faint traces of copper and still some carbonation left even after these many years. Very impressive how well this has held up. Aroma is superb and bacon-tastic! And who doesn’t love bacon? Thick malty body complements the smokey aroma quite well. Alcohol is definitely well hidden and this was a very enjoyable beer.

May 25, 2008 Thanks to whomever shared this. Pours a fairly thick copper brown. No head. Very very smokey after however many years its been, nice smokey aroma, meaty, a bit coppery in the nose. Very nice smokey meaty flavor, bacon. Nice. Very full and velvety palate, the amount of grain really shows here. No alcohol apparent though. This has held up very well.

Mar 1, 2008 Smoke, burnt tobacco, smoke, roasted malt, smoke. This is a very good meat marinade but does nothing for me as a beer, just way over the top smoke.

Jan 20, 2008 Bottle shared by hellomynameis. I appreciate him sharing this beer, it is something I have been looking for for a long time. Sugar and caramel malt aroma with just a hint of smoke. There is more smoke in the flavor, but it seems to have dissipated over the last six years. Considerable sugar, but the alcohol is well hidden. Cloudy brown appearance.

Jan 18, 2008 [Bottle, thanks Hellomynameis] Pours cloudy dark amber with no head. Aroma and taste are both really, really smoky. The only thing I could taste aside from the smoke is a little malt. Medium mouthfeel. Really long finish. I really enjoyed this beer even if it was just dominated by the smoke.

Jan 15, 2008 Sampled at MN Ratebeer Winter Gathering in Maplewood, MN and supplied by hellomynameis. From a 12-oz bottle pours a hazy caramel amber brew with a thin off-white head that has some good retention and lacing. Aroma is "smoke’n" with scents of smoked and moist pork jerky, a touch of maple syrup, a touch of chocolate and brown sugar. Taste is medium to full bodied, with flavors of smoked pork, bacon, some chocolate, brown sugar and molasses. Finish is semi-dry with a smoked pork aftertaste that is hard to go away.

Jan 15, 2008 12oz bottle graciously supplied by hellomynameis at the MN RB winter shindig. Yep... it’s a smoked. Smoked ham, maple bacon and rubber on the nose. Pours a still unclear amber with no head. Flavor has hints of burning Goodyear, kippered beef, ham, sticky malt and wet wood. Medium to full bodied. Slightly sticky on the tongue.
