Mar 30, 2008 Clear amber color, frothy head, and some lacing. Sticky sweet cherry aroma. Dry smoke flavor, fruity backbone, caramel as well. Thick, somewhat sticky mouthfeel. The flavor is almost fishy, like a smoked trout or something.

Mar 29, 2008 750ml bottle, 2007. Aroma of liquid smoke. Flavors are woody, smoke, bourbon, and sweetness.
Heavy on the smoke - almost too heavy. Could be pared alright with bbq or something if you wanted a match to the same flavors.

Mar 26, 2008 Bottle shared by argo0. Murky burgundy purple colored body. Huge nose of plum, tobacco, brandy, sherry, wood, etc. Sharp, hoppy, brandy and sweet bourbon, tobacco and plum richness, with some sharp oak or some other sort of harshness in the finish. Quite good, surprisingly.

Mar 21, 2008 750mL bottle, courtesy of argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a murky, brownish-yellow color; khaki head with patchy fine-bubbled lacing. Pleasant amounts of caramel, nuts, and a touch of smoked and roasted malts in the aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: plenty of sticky caramel, nougat, and chewy citrus upfront; a pleasant amount of bitterness and acidity come through (citrus, mineral); touch of vanilla and sweetness lingering. Medium finish: caramel, sugary malts, and some residual citrus.

Feb 25, 2008 Bottle, 7.2%. The aroma is mostly metallic, but also slightly smoky, a little unpleasant. Hazy red colour, small tan head. The flavour is distinctly smoky, but not overpowering. Toned down a bit by some maltiness. Cow stable aftertaste. Medium carbonation and OK mouthfeel.
