| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 13, 2006 nice dark mohaghany/black appearance, unique smell of smokey black licorice, very unique flavor of smoke and malts. not tremendously balanced, very bizzare, but not bad Ibrew2or3 (2766), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 2, 2006 Poured dark darkest amber with tall tan head. Main aroma is the smokiness and there seems to be a touch of malt aroma too. The main flavor comes from the smokiness. The other flavors are rather subtle. There is a hint of grain malt in the beginning. Then the malt flavor starts to shift sweeter and more pronounced all the way to the finish. Hops are even less apparent than the malts behind the main flavor element, smoke. Nice tasting smoke ale. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma of smoky roasty malt, some chocolate. Tastes rauchy, with a smoked malt presence coupled with some nuts and chocolate syrup. Medium to light palate, with a somewhat sweet yet smokey finish. Unique and refreshing! goldtwins (4083), Nesconset, New York, USA

Dark brown with slight ruby red tint to it, nice thin mocha head, some floaters? Nice porter taste, not too chocolatey and I tasted a little alcohol to it, different but good, I’ll have another.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 8, 2005 22 oz bottle pours with a massive light tan head. Aroma is mostly orange peel and tangerine zest. Still, four inches of head and two fingers of murky brown beer. Taste is really light bodied, like iced tea. There’s some smokiness and some roasted malt but not hardly enough. Watery and bland is the best I can say.
