Twist off cap on a twelve oz bottle. Has a friendly bready uncooked dough yeasty aroma. A darker beer yet clear, must be filtered, heheh. Taste is very unique but I can’t really say its chocalate in nature. Quite full of flavor but its weirdly darkish is a good way. Strange mildly bitter almost chocolate but more like old wood or leather aftertaste. Different for a change.

Recommended by friend, and it did not dissapoint. From bottle poured into shaker glass. Nice colorful head, aroma and color. Very tasty, hint of caramel, chocolate. Smooth yet alarming to the palate. Very enjoyable, and I have been recommending it to others. Since initial review have tasted three times. I stand my my rating. A good seasonal beer - Cheers!

Clear orange brown thin fizzy whitish head. Dry metallic malt aroma with faint nuttiness. Taste is heavy on artificial almonds, light and sweet malts.

Brown color with a tanish head that fades fast. Toasted nutty toffee flavors. Syrupy sweetness that tastes fake, but this fades to yield a tiny bit of hop flavor and some caramel. Body is thin and watery.

Pours a perfect brown with a 2 finger beige head, that fades in 2 minutes or so to a skim and ring. Aroma is big on roasted and candied nuts, almost artificialy strongtheres some toffee and vanilla in there too. Flavor has roasted nuts and super sweet toffee up front, then roast malt, maple syrup, and some adjuncty flavors. Finish is toast, chocolate, and a hint of bitterness. Body is thin and sweet with a chalky finish. The problem with this beer is that it tastes unnatural, it is a weak beer with overblown malt charater that leads me to believe it is full of flavoring additives, it just isnt quite right.

12 ounce bottle- pored out nicely with a moderate wheat colored head. Aroma was smokey and mellow. Taste followed suit, leading off with a pipe-smoke flavor that kind of deteriorated into a wet cardboard let-down. Would have liked a thicker mouth-feel. Okay.

Looks okay. Smells okay. The flavor on this is a little bit strained, but definitely has a defined nuttiness to it. Not heavy, and not smoky (given the name) but drinkable. Just alright.
