Oct 17, 2005 malty, smoky aroma. Almost fishy (smoked fish).
Smoky, malty in the front. Banana and bitter in the back and aftertaste. Little hops, dry malty bitterness. Dry finish.
I guess i’m not a huge fan of the style.

Oct 14, 2005 A earthy malt aroma leads one to belive that this is going to be a heavy malty brew. While it is malty, it is not overly sweet or heavy. Medium-bodied with slightly tart finish, the is a flavorful maple-tinged bre. Dark chestnut with an ample tan head and decent laving, Jinx serves up autumn well with a hint of winter’s warming alchohol content, and a brush of summers fruitiness. The smoked character is largely subdued, and this brew takes on more of a brown ale flavor profile. Pour me another.

Oct 12, 2005 It has a nice aftertaste with a touch of maple hidden in there but a rough start with the somewhat musty-coppery aroma. The flavor is pretty balanced but its earthiness takes getting used to. I think this is growing on me. The slight bitter edge it has is the only turnoff IMHO.

Oct 10, 2005 Poured dark ruby wiith a small creamy off-white head. Aroma of sweet grapes and bubble gum. Taste is lightly sweet with a touch of vinous grapes and a slight hint of smoke. Overall, somewhat mild in body and flavor, but balanced and agreeable.

Oct 9, 2005 Updated: Nov 6, 20072007 bottle....looks like a coca-cola...very little foam but a tan color...smells like the essence of a half chewed burnt hot dog, but so mild that it took me many sniffs even to get that...thin body, seems unbalanced, no smoke taste, just an ordinary substance...has a malt, cereal-like finish, not awful but not real impressive...smoke is merely a suggestion on the finish....chalky body, if that makes sense
2006...12 oz bot...Yum Yum, creamy light ale...soft carbonation & interesting...has a brown ale/ hazelnut aftertaste...really friggin good (can I say that?)....very likable
Rating reflects 2007 bottle
