lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jul 18, 2009 Brown orange pour with an almost orange tan head. Aroma is mostly caramel, won’t let on to the smoke. The taste is awesome smoky, campfire, ash, caramel malt body. SynergyXJ (506), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA Jul 5, 2009 Bottle, #486. Very dark pour with small tan head. Caramel and smokey malt profile. Low hops. Decent beer. Numenor (869), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jun 15, 2009 Courtesy of dkachur for a TN rating. Nice caramel body with a medium ivory head. Smokey and caramel aroma. Sour taste with too much peat, not sure if this was infected or not. Slightly harsh ending. phukktifano (159), Richmond, Virginia, USA Apr 14, 2009 Dark brown body with an aroma of caramel, peat and earth. A flavor was similar with a bit of smoke and sour. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA Apr 12, 2009 Bottle courtesy of dkachur by way of Numenor on 04/11/2009. Slightly hazy brown body with a small off-white head. Sweet caramel, earthy malt aroma with some peat, smoke and a touch of spice. Sweet smoke and pete flavor with some dry malt and slight tart hints. Light body with moderate carbonation and a fairly thin mouthfeel. dkachur (2317), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Mar 7, 2009 Sampled at the brewery. Pours a dark amber color with a large head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of toffee, peat, green apple and other fruity notes. Taste is caramel, toasted malts and a fruity finish. Medium bodied. nick76 (2634), Tampa, Florida, USA Feb 6, 2009 The aroma is a bit smokey with sour fruit, and toasted malt. The appearance is deep amber almost brown with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma and not too good at first but gets better near the finish. The palate is a bit thin. Overall I am not a fan. Palidor19 (1750), Brandon, Florida, USA Jan 21, 2009 this is not good. it has an uneven balance of smoke and tart that doesnt work on either side. not good
