Sep 15, 2006 Good for fall. That being said, it wasnt that great of a beer. Heavily malted, slightly smokey, earthy, and pretty much as described above. It seemed like it was missing something though... not sure what, but whatever it is missing, it’s keeping me from sensing the "memories of summer and the first frost on abandoned fields"..... not sure that any beer can give you that, but this definitely doesn’t have it.

Sep 10, 2006 Seems like they went half way to be safe. It has the merits mentioned, but it needs the body, and a deeper flavor to be a memorable pour.

Sep 7, 2006 On tap at Buffalo Wild Wings in Rochester. All in all, a difficult beer to rate. The only sure thing is that it really was not anything over the top. The beer did not go well with an 80 degree day in August. Perhaps in late fall I will re-rate...

Sep 1, 2006 Totaly not like anything I have had before. Have to say that made it taste better than it probably would have otherwise. It is, howevery, truly a nice smoky beer.

Aug 26, 2006 Updated: Jan 19, 2008This is my second Magic Hat. The Jinx was enjoyed at the Richbrau Beer Festival. It was hard to rate . Not much that caught your fancy. It was dark amber with some hops but nothing very distnctive.

Aug 25, 2006 Acquired from the fall variety 12-pack... Brown translucent body with initially thick offwhite head that becomes about a quarter inch thick. Smells grainy and malty, with hints of yeast and alcohol. Tastes smokey, with some malt and some alcohol. Overall not bad though. Flavorful beer with a lot going on and warming feel. Good stuff.

Aug 25, 2006 Dark reddish body, sweet nose, off-white head. Malty body, slightly smoky. Not terribly memorable.
