Aug 8, 2006 What a dork, I’m rating this on my Motorola Q right here at the bar...on tap 8/8/06. now pumped up to 62percent smoked malts. surprisingly smoky in the nose! super dark red. massive rich and dark fruity, almost syrupy mouthfeel. the smokiness adds a bourbon touch. no hint at all of the 9.7percent. warming in my stomach. damn near too sicky on the tongue. woww

Jan 22, 2006 On tap at Clybourn 12/16/2005: Very dark brown pour has a thin ring of off-white head. Nice, sweet malty and smokey roasted balanced aroma. Viscous malty sweet and earthy smokey body has nice complexity and a smooth, lightly warming finish. Nice malty presence throughout but is slightly cloying. A nice smoked beer that reminds me of a young Bells Batch 5000.

Dec 18, 2005 Smells like a liquid smoky link...tastes like a smoked sausage in a glass washing down a beef jerky. And this vegetarian loved every drop! What a great seasonal warmer. I could savor one of these all night, except for the vexing problem of looking down at the glass and always finding it empty!

Dec 17, 2005 Clybourn tap. Pours to a red hued dark brown body with a beige head. Light smoked aroma. More smoked woods than meat. Not really dark malts either. The flavor is smoked wood and hoppy smokeyness. The palate is very creamy and has a light dryness.

Dec 16, 2005 On tap at Clybourn pub. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Molasses, caramel, raisans, and sweet smoke are all present. All of which get better as the drink has time to warm a bit. A very interesting brew that I will revisit gladly.
