This was a fairly old bottle. No date but it was a nip size. That coupled with the fact that I bought it years ago puts some age on it. Poured an almost clear copper color with minimal head. There was still a big smoke component. It was smooth but dominant. The flavor had a light semi-sweet malt taste with some smooth smoke running through it. The taste is good but you can tell the beer has past its prime.

Aug 22, 2008 Bottle from Beertopia, Omaha, NE. Poured clear dark brown color with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate smoke malty and hop aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet smoke flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. My expectation where exceeded.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle. Fresh aroma of caramel, fruit and hops. Deep golden orange colour with a thin head. Smoked flavour of spice and hops. Little thin, hoppy smoky finish. Solid ale from rogue as usual but not my favourite.

Aug 15, 2008 My first smoked ale. Pours a medium-brown. Aroma is good, kind of a good hearty maltiness, with a definite smoke aroma. Flavor is very woody, obviously, due to the smoke. Pretty nice level of hoppiness too. Good balance, nice smokey flavor. Pretty darn good.

Aug 11, 2008 Sweet malt aroma and flavor of caramel and peat. The smoke flavor is nice and ashy. Almost medium-bodied with a pleasant earthy hop finish. Good brew.
