Mar 25, 2008 Light dull amber colour, pouring bright. The aroma is smokey (beech) but with only a light caramel malt note to back it up. Simple palate - I like it but that’s only because I’m a smoke whore.

Mar 15, 2008 22oz from Liquid Solutions. Bottle says the ABV is 7.3, but it’s certainly well hidden either way. Deep, slightly cloudy garnet pour, with a crisp head. There’s not a ton of smoke in the aroma, though there are some pleasant malts. But it’s definitely there in the taste, with some campfire, slight sweet notes, a bit of pine, and some sharp licorice. Not a bad variation on a German rauch, with a PNW twist in the strong hop finish.

Dec 1, 2007 Hazy amber incolor with little head. Mild hickory aroma sits atop caramel sweetness. Crisp amber malt flavor is married with delicate smokiness. Some light hops balance the smokiness. This is a nice surprise and a real great beer.

Nov 12, 2007 22oz bottle-pours a light tan head and hazy dark amber color. Aroma is dark/medium malt-molasses/some smoke, some dark fruit. Taste is dark/medium malt-molasses/some smoke, quickly transitions to some spice hops. Medium body. Good effervescence.

A deep amber color with a tihck head. The beer had a smokey aroma and deep rich malts. The flavor was that of a good amber beer with smoked malts. The malts and flavors whee very deep and a good mild balance. This was a good over all beer to drink.
