Dark roast malt and lovely overtones or beechwood and thick, viscous campfire smoke. Pitch pour with a dark brown head and little legs and lace. Chocolate and smoke taste, porter aspects come forward and dominate the main. Alcohol showing, feeling 9-10%, medium body and very warm. Overall, a definite disappointment considering the score here - but definitely worth a go, if you can get a good deal.

22 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with Cliff. Pours black with a thin-moderate dense brown head that lasted beyond mid-glass and laced the glass well. Very pleasant aroma of smoke. The smoke is definitely more of a smoked meat fragrance as opposed to wood smoke. The flavor is roasted malt and smoke (again, the meat variety). Fairly smooth at the finish. Full bodied and rich. A top notch smoked beer.

Black with a brown head. Big smoky meaty aromas. Smooth, full body with soft carbonation. Very good chewy, charred malt flavors with hickory smoked bacon and eggs. Light booziness in the finish. Fucking great smoke brew here.

On tap at Oldsmar Tap House (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark black color with thin tan head. Aroma is smoky, roasted and malty with notes of ripe dark fruit, dark chocolate, strong overtones of campfire. Flavor is generally roasted, malty and smoky as well with dark chocolate, ripe dark fruit, honey and caramel sweetness, and hints of spice. Generally medium to full body with a pleasing smoky and malty finish. Some and campfire notes are evident early in the glass but seemed to mellow as the beer warmed.

Poured at Jupiter brewfest. Finally I get to try this beer! Black pour with a tan head. Aroma has some great smoke, dark malts and woodsy notes. Flavor hits wtih smoke, but it isn’t overdone. It is prominent, but yo gte beer flavor, fruity flavors and more that allowed this beer to really shine.

A very large light brown head topped a nearly perfectly black body. The aroma was decently smoked with some fruit wood and biscuits. There is a little bit of caramel character. The taste has some lightly smoked pancakes and hints of caramel. The woody finish shares itself with some light peach candy. This is nicely done and relatively subtly smoked.

Pour is a pitch black with a small tan head. Aroma is smoke with some meatyness. Flavor is again smoke with some bacon and roasted ham. I’m not a fan of smoked beers but they did hit the mark on the head with this one. But this is another beer that should not be in a 22 bottle as you could only take a small sample in a sitting.

Color is a solid black with good carbonation and a big thick tight tan head. Aroma is deep and smoky. Taste is rich and smoky. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a crisp sharp feel. Finish comes in sweet with a rich feel then a big bold smoke taste with deep roasted coffee flavors and a touch of bitterness. After taste is a lingering smoke taste with a hint of alcohol. This is a tasty and complex brew, the palate is a bit sharp at first but seems to smooth out as you drink it.
