Mar 15, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours almost black with dark amber hue. Smells of smoked ham and beef jerky. Tastes of smoked pork, sweet malt, hearty smoked wood, and nicely smoked malts. Very nice beer.

Feb 4, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is of ham, smoke, chocolate, and wood. Taste is a huge smoky ham flavor with wood and chocolate. All the flavors, save for ham are very muted. Not an overly complicated beer. Just pure, face-raping ham flavor.

Jan 25, 2009 22oz bottle from sry23 on BA. Nice looking deep red color with a tan head. Smokey aroma, dark and malty, smells kind of like a scotch ale. Pretty good beer overall, the smoke comes out more as it warms, looking forward to the barrel aged version (which is next).

Jan 18, 2009 Reviewed 1/6/2009 (bottle):
Pours a dark black body with a smallish light brown colored head, somewhat diminishing, okay lacing. Very smokey aroma, sweet, almost smells like ham, almost. That’s all I can smell. Fizzy taste, very smokey taste, almost ashy. Smokey sweet aftertaste too. Not heavy tasting. No hops or anything else can be detected. Just some sweet smokiness. Not overwhelming a taste, goes down pretty well.

Jan 8, 2009 Bottle from alexsdad06. Thanks! Aroma of smoked bacon, chocolate, and brown sugar. Pours dark brown with a thin head. Smokey flavors of bacon and campfire followed by chocolate and light roast. Seemed a little thin, but I really enjoyed the long smokey finish in this one. Pleasant.

Jan 8, 2009 Holy smoke! Smells nice, not overly smoky. Looks as a porter should, dark dark brown, small head. A bit too much smoke for my liking across the palate and it lingers for a bit. Overall interesting but I couldnt drink a whole beer, its kind of like a damp, used piece of campfire wood.

Jan 8, 2009 Bottle from strykzone. Thanks Dave. Pours dark brown with small tan head that fades leaving a small ring of lace. Nose is watered down smoke, roasted malt. Flavor is very roasty and charred, but it lacks depth.
