| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 2, 2009 Bottle. Seemed light on the smokiness. Heavy, almost cloying malt with hints of coffee, molasses, prunes, and maple. Hops almost indistinguishable, as well as alcohol. A tad too thick and sweet for me, but fine beer. Would make a good dessert beer? puggy211 (591), cordova, Tennessee, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 2, 2009 Bottle - Nice black pour with a light brown head, but looks real watery. Smell is smoke and beef jerky, and almost a smoked fish smell. As it warms, light roast and chocolate start to come through. The smoke is understated and smooth, but tastes pretty artificial. There’s also not enough roastiness in the background to mix with the smoke, making this a one-note beer. A bit of gritty coffee grounds on the finish, and a bit too watery.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Aug 22, 2009 Pours a very dark brown with some noticeable highlights. a decent head disappates into a crown with some fractals, no lacing.
Smells of liquid smoke over chocolate. Maybe some coffee there? The smoke is strong.
Smoke is also strong in the taste, perhaps a bit too much. The smoke overwhelms almost any other flavor, this is like drinking liquid beef jerky..or liquid smoke.
Mouth is relatively thin with medium carbonation.
As far as smoked beers go, Stone and East End are tops of the class. This isn’t quite up there. jkwalking05 (1485), Arlington, Texas, USA
