Bottle. Pours copper with a thin beige head. Sweet caramel malt aroma with light smoky wood. The flavor is rather light with sweeter malt and a touch of smoke. Decent.

I’ll be honest i don’t like magic hat but this might be the exception. A chocolate brown color and a fair sized head beer was handed to me by a friend. Sticking my nose in this made me feel like i was stepping into a lumber yard or a wood shop. Very nice ceader or oak aroma. The taste was malty but with a hint of peat. Might be a good beer if you feel like drinking whiskey but dont wanna get to drunk, allt he same flavors are there.

From a 12 oz bottle. Pours a rich deep amber color. Very light head disappeared quickly. Slightly smoky aroma. Taste was pretty good with a light smoky flavor and light earth malt tones. Very nice. I feared that the smoky peat flavor would be overpowering but that wasn’t the case. I would definitely drink this one again.

The pours heavy orange hue, with a med sized beige head. The aroma is dominated by the smoky malts, with some floral highlights. The first thing I notice about this beer is the heavy carbonation, so I have to let is sit to really find the flavor....The Hops are bitter, and pleasant. The smoke flavor was stronger than I was expecting given the description. The malts are over powered by their smoke flavor to bring too much maltiness to the tounge. A good offering.

Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a shaker. This beer poured a mirky, dirty copper hue with a nice head of creamy tan foam that showed some decent retention. A small amount of slippery lacing was left around the glass. The aroma contained notes of smokey caramel and dried fruits. The flavor consisted of caramel and toffee, a mellow smokiness, dark fruits, and a hint of maple syrup. Nicely balanced. The mouthfeel was full-bodied and had light to moderate carbonation. After trying their so called hefe, I wasn’t expecting much, but this was a pleasent surprise.

poured a nice brown hue with an off-white head. Aroma had a very pronounced smoke note to it with some malts to it. The smoke was never over powering just pleasant throughout the bottle. A nice smooth finish.

Can I just call this an "earthy" beer? I’m in looove. Thank you North Carolina!
