Nov 6, 2006 on tap-pours a creamy tan head, black color with red tint. Aroma is dark malt-coffee/chocolate. Taste is smokey, dark malt-coffee/chocolate, slight hops bitterness. Medium/full body, OK carbonation. Not my style but nice.

Apr 26, 2006 4 oz sampler at the brewpub 4/14/06: Dark with a tan head. Surprisingly smoky aroma. Thick and soupy ... almost a whiskey essence. Way too heavy for this hot day.

May 14, 2005 An opaque brown beer with a disappearing brown head. Both the flavor and aroma have notes of chocolate and prunes, as well as hints of sourness.

Jan 10, 2005 Nose is milky coffee and roasted malts, smoke in the flavor but not the nose. Light smoke overall, which is good, lets the malts and the hops perform. Roasted grains and some scotch in the finish.

Apr 16, 2004 On Tap: Opaque red brown under a small short lasting beige head. Medium butterscotch and coffee aroma (where's the smoked?). Body is of medium fullness, smooth with a touch of astringency. An old fireplace smoked character comes through in the flavour along with coffee and low sweetness medium bitter roasted malt. There's something else there I can't quite identify - flinty earthy and even metallic? Not unpleasant slightly acrid bitter finish
