Aug 12, 2007 Bottle wife bought on her Wi. trip. Sweet tobacco aroma. Brown body with nice mahagany red if held to light. Good creamy beigr head with retention. Flavor is sweet malt creamy milk with some spice in there. Sweetness subsides on the finish with some dry hop spice that lingers on the palate. Smooth easy drinkable beer.

Aug 10, 2007 Too much peat and smoke. Cloying with almost no hop profile. Over the top, weak example of the style.

Aug 5, 2007 16 oz bottle. Poured a clear garnet red color. Head was a light tan oatmeal-ish color and reduced over a minute or so to a thin film. Aroma was of molasses and plum. Slightly sweet on the tongue with ample carbonation. Tasted of peated malt, toffee, and cola. Decent.

Aug 4, 2007 Wow, this is probably my new favorite Sprecher beer. Smoked flavor that’s not overpowering. Hoped to pick up a couple bottles on my way out of the brewery, but they sold the final three cases in the hour I was there. I can see why.

Jul 31, 2007 Bottle (16oz). Deep copper pour, clear, average cream tan head. Pretty solid aroma - moderate alcohol, peaty and sweet rye malt, some underlying tart fruit, and woodsmoke emerging as it warms. The taste is almost as good - tangy, blood-iron cereal malt, apricot fruitiness, but lovely smoky iodine/peat bitterness, very minerally - not blended, but there’s complexity for sure. Average, lightly sticky body, mineral astringency right through the finish, which is fairly quick, but the earthy tang lingers nicely. Quite underrated, IMO.

Jul 28, 2007 Pours a deep ruby color with off white head that fades quickly. Aroma is of smoke, caramel, malt, light dark fruit notes. Taste gives way to a big dollup of smoke and caramel and some rich earthiness. This is a rich and flavorful beer but the finish loses some strength.
