Aug 15, 2005 Tap @ GTMW. Semi-hazy orange glow with a thin, creamy grey head. Burnt rubber aroma, smoked goat jerky and a sour Belgian yeast strain. Nice flavor rush, drawing out caramel and blonde bock tendencies underlined with traditional rauchbier smokiness. Vanilla and caramel sweetness. Chalky, yeasty resonance. A noble effort and fine rendition.

Jul 26, 2004 I’ve given this a fairly high overall rating based on just some of the many dozens of glasses I’ve had. This beer fluctuates quite a bit, but the "normal" flavor has a pretty good smoke taste with just the right amount of bitterness. A nice change from all the smoked porters out there. I’m looking forward to its return in the Fall.

Aug 18, 2003 On tap at the Indiana Mircrobrewers Festival -- Amber color with a thin white ring around the edge of the glass. Lots of fruity malt flavors with a weird subtle, greasey smoke flavor to it. Tastey but odd.

Jun 23, 2003 The head was small and tan with large bubbles and virtually no lacing. The body was brown in hue and it had a moderate malty aroma and also a smokey aroma. The flavor was bitter from start to finish in my opinion. The body was light and watery.

Jun 22, 2003 This brew poured a small head of fine to largely sized light brown bubbles and a semi-opaque dark brown body. It has a very nice strong smokey malt aroma and a slightly smokey bitter start that smoothens in its finish. A very nice flavor with the smoke well balanaced and not too over powering

Apr 16, 2003 Draft Only: Dark orange with nice head. Light smoke in the nose. Maybe a little more smoke flavor than the first batch? Very nice and very drinkable.

Jan 13, 2003 Draft: Rusty orange with a sticky off white foam. Lovely bready aroma, with notes of smoke, caramel, gummy candy, walnuts, and their traditional house character. Prickly on the palate with a medium body. Starts very fruity, follwed by cracker notes, and a touch of licorice. Finishes dry with an ingenius balanced interplay of hops and smoke with mild breadiness. Offers the best of both worlds and remains quaffable.
