Bottle from Westpark in Richmond. Pours a hazy dark orangewith a medium head. Odd aroma of stone fruits and smoke. Taste has way too much smoke for my taste. Also tastes of stone fruit and banana. A little on the thin side.

Aug 12, 2008 Corked Bottle 650 ml 2007
Appearance: Slight haze on amber with hint of pink ruby. Large light brown, creamy with light rocks head.
Nose: Ahh. Medium smoky front with aromatic mineral and citric hop, beneath filling sweet malt. Candy raspberry behind. 8-
Flavor/Palate : Medium frontal body with much fuller middle and oily finish. True heavy body of classic doppel bock smoked a la Bamberg. Beech wood pits. Fruity berry with metallic leafy hops just add extra American twist. Clean smooth warmth wrapping this marvelous creation.

Jul 30, 2008 Poured a hazy reddish hue with a nice cream-colored head that receded into a small ring around the inside of the glass. Nose is mild smoke and pork, with a faint aroma of freshly baked buttermilk biscuits. Home cookin’ at it’s finest...barbequed ribs falling right off of the bone. Flavor would be a perfect pairing with smoked sausage, pork, or beef. A solid brew.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottled. Slightly hazy and deep golden coloured with a medium sized head. Quite well balanced with notes of caramel, bread, citrus, hay and also has a hint of smoke. Very nice.

Jul 21, 2008 Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of cereal, roasted and nutty, light herbs and earth for the hops and yeast, and very light notes of date, red wine, smoke and wood. Head is fizzy, white with no lacing and is fully diminishing. the first pour is clear burgandy, then clouds up a bit on the following pours. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a fizzy carbonation. A decent beer, it just didn’t have the depth of flavor and aroma I expected.

Jul 12, 2008 This poured a brownish color with a small tan head.The nose was smoky, malty, and bacony.Yum! This was close to having bacon beer in a glass.Lots of smoke up front with some malts and bacon, smokiness to finish it off.
