Nov 1, 2009 Big thanks to my sister Lori for sending down a growler of this. My sister ROCKS! Pours out amber with gold edges and full tan head. The aroma has malts, chocolate, bacon and a light dash of bandaid. The taste has modest levels of malt and a bit of chocolate here and there. Midway the smoke shows up as the beer thins out creating an earthy – bacony – slightly rubbery bandiad-y mélange of flavor notes. It is a decent enough beer and the smoke certainly doesn’t overwhelm (for most I’m guessing that’s a good thing).

Mar 15, 2009 On tap at Dragonmead. 3-13-09. Poured dark brown with light amber hues. Smelled of malt and campfire. Tasted very light malty, lots of hardwood smke, even a little cask-aged. Light body and easy drinkability. I might mix this beer and the jalapeno beer together next time and see what happens.

Oct 11, 2007 On tap @ the brew pub: Pours a clear copper color with a light tan head. Aroma, smoky and malty. Flavor, smoky, peaty, some caramel, light chocolate hints, and some roasted notes, the smoke was quite well balanced.

Aug 19, 2007 On tap at Dragonmead. Deep red-brown body, dense cream head. Distinctive smoked peat aroma. Creamy, light, peaty body, emphasizing the smoked malts. If anything, this wasn’t brave enough with the smoked characteristics. It felt too watered down.

Dec 29, 2006 Draft... Clear, very dark, crimson lager with a small, creamy, khaki head. Hickory, campfire smoke aroma. Perfectly balanced flavor with lots of BBQ smoke. Low residual sweetness and light bitterness. Medium-bodied and thin with modest carbonation.

Sep 5, 2006 Tap @ D’mead. Black beer with no head. Smoke flavor like suggested in the name. Watery texture. Dragonmead has better selections before trying this one.
