Apr 21, 2007 Pours dark brown with a medium beige head. The aroma is all malts; specifically chocolate and caramel. Much like many complex flavor beers with the abv inching higher and higher, temperature is important. The flavor was a smoothly blended combination of the malts described by the company: caramel, chocolate, and light roasted. I did not get the smokiness mentioned. I did however enjoy this beer a great deal.

Jun 17, 2007 I don’t usually like malty beers, but the smoky flavor at the end of this beer sold me on this brewery.

Mar 25, 2008 12 oz. Can courtesy of Naka. Pours a dark amber/brown with some light red hues. Nice medium khaki head, foamy and quickly dissipating from about one finger thick, leaving a decently laced glass. Big malt nose, mostly caramel with a slight smoke, and a touch of biscuit. Taste is full of caramel and chocolate, touch of toffee. A rather forward smoky quality permeates throughout, subtle, mixing with a mild to moderate bitter for the style. The end is crisp, but the hop bitterness and smoke lingers slightly on the sides of the tongue. Tasty brew. Would pair well with grilled steak or some beef brisket. k

Jul 30, 2009 Can purchased at Liquor Mart in Boulder. Pours a deep brown with garnet highlights and a fluffy khaki head. The nose is quite nice: dark fruity malt that makes me think of this as a lighter, fruitier version of a barley wine. Medium-bodied and slick with super-fine carbonation and a pleasantly astringent/drying finish. Sweet, dark, fruity malt, plum and beet sugar with a dry, mildly hoppy finish. This is a fine beer. I would definitely recommend it to any fan of malt-forward beers/styles.

Dec 12, 2007 Tasty beer that is accurately described through the brewer. Kind of like mild, bottled smoke.

May 16, 2007 Best beer I’ve ever had from a can. Strong, earthy aroma of malt, carmel, and chocolate. Smooth drinking at 8%, leaving flavors of coffee and chocolate combined in a malty mouthfeel. Love this beer.
