Commercial Description:
Earthy, rich and steeped in autumn’s magic: it’s an ale of change. This potent infusion is haunted by memories of summer and the first frost on abandoned fields. Jinx prepares the bones for snow. It has the glint of golden maples at peak and finishes light as an ode to the fading sun. A bit of peat-smoked malt imparts a subtle hint of smoke that reminds us of fall’s bonfires. Available in the Fall.

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Fooled again! Tap at Barleys. Poured a opaque dark gold color with a small white head. Malts, hints of spice. Finished thin and gay.

On tap at Barley’s Asheville. Mostly clear brown-copper with a thin white head. Mostly malt with some spice and slightly sweet dark fruit aromas. Very light palate. Very malty start, a tad bit of spice. It managed to be both muddled and boring. I was surprised to see this as a smoked, since I didn’t detect a whole lot of smoke here.

Pours amber with notes of earth and cocoa. There are hop like herbaciousness on the palate that give to a malt like sweet note on the finish.

in bottle. a dark amber with off-white head. Yummy beer, but hard to identify the style without seeing the write-up. I tasted a chocolately nutty flavor with an spiced twist at the end. My guess was this was a nut brown; perhaps peat imparts a nutty flavor?
