| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 30, 2009 Sample from brewery. Poured a very dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of smoke, roasted malt, dark fruit, sweet malt. Taste is similar, with lots of smoke, more dark fruit, some light hops as well. This is really well done, as the smoke is not overwhelming. The body is full and hearty, nice soft carbonation. Overall, a nice, full, smokey brew. Very solid. alobar (1051), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 12, 2009 Had this at Coppers in Scranton. They stated it was an amber lager. ummmm, no.
I thought it was a porter, due to the color and roasted malt flavor....ummm no.
Anyhoo - this is the best smoked beer I’ve ever had. Deep and very tasty.
Keep up the good work. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 7, 2009 Draft at Craft Ale. Pours dark brown with off-tan head. Nose is smoked malt, but not overpowering, with notes of hazelnut, figgy fruit, red wine grapes, and earthy peaty spirits. Tastes of smoked malt, with a rich palate, merlot, earthy, and nutty flavors. Good balance and complex palate make this one a rock solid rauch. Not as rauchy as the Aecht offerings, but very good.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 10, 2009 On tap at 4 Dogs... Pours a nice deep brown with a thin head.... Mellow notes of smoke in the nose with the malt taking the forefront over the hops... The smoke is mellow throughout not overbearing at all... Very drinkable, though a wee bit thin... Good effort from a good up and coming brewery...
