Dec 10, 2005 Mild graininess to the dark pit fruit aroma. Clear, pale copper coloured body with a low off white head that recedes rapidly to ring. Mild fruitiness in the over the top sweet flavour. Unfortunately, what malt character there is turns out to be quite grainy. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Sampled at GABF 2005.

Jun 12, 2005 Tap. Fruit hop aroma with a nose of caramel malt and brown sugar. Pours nut brown with an off-white head; good lacing. Hop start then caramel malt and toffee and finishes dry hop. Medium and heavy palate, a little dry.

Jun 11, 2003 Had at the Knoxville Calhouns, not the one in Gatlinburg - same organization, though. Brown and clear, thin head. Cola-ish carbonation. Nutty aroma. Big Walnut flavor and a bit of smoke as well. Very malty sweet. Ultimatetly too thin bodied and sweetness becomes overbearing.

Jun 28, 2002 I tried, but I couldn’t smell it. I’m convinced that this brew was sandbagged by 1) The Tennessee ABV law which restricts beer to < 6% and 2) a lack of carbonation from the tap. This was totally devoid of CO2. That means less bite, less palate and less aroma. More samples (and my resampling) are definitely needed. Mild western hops, crystal malts, woody aftertaste. Tannic.

Deep copper color with a light head. Liked the malts and the smokiness I get from this brew. This was a great beer for eating with dinner and the beer had a great finish to it. It was a citrus and spicy. I liked this beer.

Apr 15, 2004 This just came on tap in Knoxville at Calhoun's (at the site where it is actually brewed) . The 2004 batch must be worth a try. Although it lacked a little head, carbonation was right. (It might have started out with a head. I was at a table not the bar) Good malty aroma with just a touch of hop. Malty, but not syrupy sweet, hops very subdued as they should be in a Bock. All in all, one of the best I've had from Smoky Mountain/ Calhoun's.
