May 29, 2008 Small tan head with fair retention and some scant spotty lacing. Clear, amber brown color. Nose of light smoke, wood and maybe some chocolate. Body is almost medium, lightly oily on the palate. Gentle smoke flavors up front followed by notes of roast, chocolate, caramel and cocoa, fairly dry all around. Finish is almost dry, smokey and lingering. A kinder, gentler smoked brew imho. Props to captaincougar for the bottle, thanks Tom!

May 26, 2008 Shared at the Carolina Gathering. Pours a dark brown that allows a tad bit of light. Has a thin creamy light tan head. Has a very nice smokey meaty aroma to it. The flavor is similar, very meaty, a well balanced smoke characteristic, a bit coppery, flavor is a tad thin. Had a decent mouthfeel and a smokey meaty finish.

May 25, 2008 Pour is deep black/brown, minimal head. Nose is smoky, though not as rich and intense as I’d expect. Taste is a bit chocolaty and roasted. Not getting as much smoke as I’d like. Nice though.

May 23, 2008 black pour with a very small off white head. wow it really seems like i could take a bite of this stuff. the smell is so smokey, it’s like having a glass of bbq. nice and easy on the palate and the flavors don’t really change much from the smell. i need to get some more of this stuff very soon.

May 21, 2008 Updated: Aug 8, 2009This is a great beer, and I would love to pair this with some grilled meats. A generous, gamey meaty nose. I love it, I want to take a bite out of it. Has that campfire smell of coffee roasted over an open fire, tastes like it too. Roasty with some nutty chocolate notes. It’s still a porter, but it brewed by Dan and that adds a lot of character. Thanks Jbuzz
