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.

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.

Jul 31, 2008 On tap at Three Floyds Brewpub and served in an English pint glass. This beer poured a coppery amber hue with a thin head of tan foam. Some light lacing was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of caramel, toffee, bitter citrus, and a strong smokey note. The flavor included caramel, grapefruit, cured meat, campfire, and fresh citrus. Nice! The mouthfeel was medium to full-bodied with moderate carbonation. Almost like a smoked Alpha King. The smoke fits in amazingly well. Tasty!

May 12, 2008 Smokey with a strong hop aroma. Pours a dark amber with a thin white head. Strong hop flavor mixed with smoke and a big malt backbone. Smoked pine resin with some caramel in the flavor. Awesome beer!

Aug 11, 2008 Aged in a port cask for 7 months, Great Taste ’08. Pours a hazed yellow with a white small looser head, dissipating. The nose is full of smoke, but it comes out entirely like lox, not that I’m complaining. A bit of malty sweetness, but not a ton. The mouthfeel is fuller than I’d expect for being in a cask. The flavor is dead on lox. A bit sweeter, and obviously maltier. Some subtle floral hops round it out. A wonderful beer.

May 1, 2008 Courtesy Teege from RLRL. Amber. Small off white head. Aroma of grassy hops and smoked malt. Same flavor. Mostly smoke with a decent amount of hops. Medium body, balanced carbonation, easy drinking. Solid brew.

Aug 25, 2005 GTM. With the 10th rating of this brew, I guess I get to make or break it. Very smoky aroma. Smells like a salted pig right off the barbeque pit. Slighty hazy amber with a stark white head. Expected off white. Niced lace. Tastes literally like it smells...very smoky. Not bad.

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
