Dec 19, 2008 For my 600th rating. Shared matt b and his housemates. Clearish purple with good beige head. Ham, raisin, plum, hint of alcohol on the nose. Flavors are great lightly smoked meat with dark fruit and tremendous malt profile. Medium chewy body with moderate carbonation. Very enjoyable despite the pricetag.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle courtesy of sebletitje. Pours a hazy brown amber with a one finger light tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of smoked malt, light caramel, and sweet malt. Taste is the same as aroma but more pronounced. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Very good.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle @ Beer Exposed, September 2008.
Pours lightly hazy brown with a small, creamy, beige, film head. Good duration. Sweet aroma, rye bread, caramel and cinnamon. Fine, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has liquorice, caramel, sweet malts, but a bit of a hops balance. Okay for the type.

Jun 24, 2008 This bottled brew from Indianapolis was marked as being from 2007. It poured a mug of all foam made up of finely sized tan colored mostly diminishing bubbles. The body was transparent soft carbonated and golden brown in color. The aroma was musty with a mild smoky aspect. The mouth feel was tingly and crisp from start to finish. The flavor contained notes of malt smoke and was semi-sweet.

Apr 9, 2008 Bottle marked 2007 bottle conditioned.Large frothy, fizzy ivory head that mostly diminished, transparent, spotty lacing, carbonation observed, and an orange hue. Nose was mildly smokey, malty, caramel, sweet, and a subtle hint of toffee. Flavor was sweet, malty, caramel, mildly smokey, and a hint of toffee. Mouthfeel was lightly tingly. Medium in body.Quaffable, easy to drink, but not a beer that I am interested in having again as I do not especially care for a smokey beer taste.

Apr 5, 2008 Extremely cloudy amberish brown in color with an almost nonexistent head. The nose was very smoky with an underlying aroma of cherries. The flavor was very smoky with an oaky (maybe hickory) after taste. It has a nice mouthfeel, sort of heavy on the tongue, but not too carbonated. I tried this beer with some spicy mediterraean food I was preparing and found it pared, quite surprisingly, well with the spicier fare.

Mar 31, 2008 Cloudy brown beer with a small white head. Aroma is of smoked malts, like "turf". Taste is of smoked malts as well, fairly sweet. Balance is off in this beer, very thick palate, a potpourri of tastes that are hard to define, gets cloying.
