22 oz. bottle on 3/28/2008 in Frisco, CO. Opaque brown/black body under a medium, but lasting, tan head. The aroma is subtly smoky and woody, not an aggressive smoke like a Rauchbier or even Alaskan Smoked Porter. Medium body and carbonation, softly dry palate. There’s a woody, molasses type sweetness that vies for attention with a gentle bitterness. Quite understated, but easily drinkable and pleasant.

Jun 29, 2008 Dark brown color with a white head that quickly diminishes into a small collar. Very faint aromatics overall, a very light touch of malt character (some smoke, and a very light hint of chocolate and roast. Thin bodied beer. Flavor is also very muted, with some light notes of rubber, a touch of smoke, some fruit and some roast. I was expecting more from such a high quality brewer.
