Feb 22, 2007 This pours a hazy murky reddish brown color with little head. The flavor is sweet, malty and slightly apple-like in flavor.

Feb 17, 2007 Pours a medium brown with no real head to speak of. Slightly sweet malty aroma. Flavor was sweet with some dark fruit hints, and maybe a little caramel. It was OK.

Feb 16, 2007 Courtesy sprinkle. Brown/dark amber and a small tan cap. Nose of pungent, burnt, earthy malt, and subtle earthy hops. Flavor adds brown sugar, light nutmeg, more of the same hops, a bit of alcohol in the finish. Huge malt in this brew. Medium/full body, just smoother than balanced. Nice malty brew. Pair with smoked cheddar and whole grain bread or crackers.

Feb 16, 2007 12oz, no date. Pours a dark murky brown with a two finger beige head. Aroma of peated and toasted malt, raisins, light smoked meat and metal, some earthy hops. Flavor is again peated malt and all the aforementioned aromas with some lightly salted smoked meat and alcohol, and without the raisins and some mildly bittersweet caramel or molasses in its place. Couldn’t really place the hops, either. Wouldn’t have placed this @ 9.75%, but at least 7. Semidry finish. Medium body with some low creamy carbonation. Did enjoy this one.

Feb 13, 2007 Dark copper body, thin frothy tan head.
Aroma is peaty sweet malts. Basic lightly smoked malt.
Nice peaty/smokey malt body. Well defined malt body. Not hugely complex, but hugely malty yet well balanced and drinkable.

Feb 8, 2007 Pours a dark maroon, with almost no head. Kind of hazy. Very malty and doughy with hints of mustard and sausage in the smell. Kind of wierd. Pretty smooth in the taste. Smoky malts, a dull sweetness, burt wood, chestnuts, roasted walnuts, and syrup. Also get a hint of mint in the aftertaste. Alot going on with this one, it was very interesting.

Feb 7, 2007 Courtesy boboski. Mild peatiness to the aroma, with a stronger smoked sausage component present was my initial impression, but the peat aromas came through more as it warmed. Reddish-orange in color, thin white head. Syrupy texture, but not overly thick. Taste was definitely sweet, but not overdone. Smoke less present in taste, but detectable. Would’ve liked more peat character in taste. Slightly sweet finish. Interesting.
