Bottle: Poured a deep copper color ale with a large foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet caramelized malt is dominating with light toffee notes and some lingering smoke. Taste is sweeter then expected with loads of caramelized malt and sweet toffee with a light smoky finish. Body is quite full with limited filtration and good carbonation with no signs of alcohol. Well done though a bit sweet for my taste – bonus point for the smoke notes thought.

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle from ericandersnavy. Thanks a whole lot guy! Pours ruby orange with a five-finger off-white head. Smells like creme brulee. Medium body with virtually no carbonation. Really smooth caramel with peachy notes. It is one of a kind. Tobacco notes. After a long time - smoke. Where was that?

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle shared by bhensonb. Pours into a thistle glass with a reddish brown color, a massive beige head and an alcohol aroma. The flavor is smoked malt with an emphasis on the smoke, and a strong alcohol sensation. There is also a bit of fruit and tobacco. I really like this one.

Dec 4, 2009 Pours dark amber-brown, appears very cloudy. Aroma of biscuit, caramel, and dominate with alcohol with notes of earthy hops, smoke, and vanilla. Body is full, with a thick and creamy texture. Taste is dominated by alcohol, followed by sweet, smokey malt, and a finish that brings a bit of bitterness that reminds you its a beer.

Nov 29, 2009 bottle courtesy of a trade, pours a rich hazy mahogany with a medium tan head. Aroma is burnt brown sugar and raisins with some yeast. Tasty toasted malt and green raisins mix with brown sugar, plum, and a smoked peated malt. Really nice flavors going on, mildly creamy with small pockets of carbonation. Really nice brew!

Nov 29, 2009 another one shared by rusty on 9/27/09.
coppery brown color with a slight haze and a small off white head.
big blast of toasted pecans and walnuts in the nose... followed by sweet malt, chocolate, warm smoke and some fruitiness (not 100% on which?).
the flavor is nutty, grainy and sweet with added notes of chocolate, earthy spice, toffee and smokiness. a light bitterness comes in on the finish to help everything move off the palate.
it is medium bodied though seemingly thinner and dangerously easy to put away. alcohol is drying while the carbonation is creamy and smooth. 7/3/7/3/15/3.5

Nov 29, 2009 pours an amber hue raped by a sensual red gleam and smothered from above by dense & frothy light tan suds. nose has notes of cherry twizzler, brandy, unripe plum, and mildew. flavors are sweet and candy like with fruity essences along the lines of plum and other dark fruits. Some licorice and cherry noted as well along with a peaty smokiness. Medium bodied, with adequate hopping and warming alcohol. Its nicely refined and warming and seems like it will still get better with age.
