Amber-mahogany, film, ring for head. Aroma has some alcohol up front, smokiness in the background, malt is there but not as big as expected. Flavor has a decent balance of caramel, toffee, faint smoke, finishes with some alcohol warming. Decent overall.

Dec 13, 2009 Brown pour, nice off white head. Peaty and malty aroma jumps out of the glass followed by a bit of fruit and hops. The peat and caramel flavor are really nice with a hint of dried stone fruit and a good little hop bite.

Nov 29, 2009 (bottle - 16 oz) Copper pour with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is very malty and smokey with hints of peat and caramel. Flavor is smokey and sweet with a nice and roasted malt middle, Finish is rather watery and strangely metallic. Flavor doesn’t linger very long and the alcohol is well hidden. A bit thin but good flavor.

Nov 16, 2009 Bottle pours an amber brown with a creamy beige head that laces down in patches. Fruity dark malts come off first but with a swirl strong smoked peat notes that are meaty and inviting. Dark fruits peat earthy toasted and smoked malts. Bitter and sweet. On the sweet side but the strong smoked peat makes for a solid brew.

Nov 14, 2009 16oz. bottle from VBM. Pours a dark, hazy ruby red body with a medium off white head. Aroma is sweet caramel malts, with some light chocolate, alcohol and candy scents. Fuller bodied, smooth with good carbonation. Flavor is dark fruits, not too sweet, hops, toasted malts. Alcohol can slightly be felt, but a great warming feeling. Became even better as it warmed. Good beer.

Sep 7, 2009 Quite tasty. Sweet maltiness as initial taste with a good burn going down. Imagine this would go down good in the winter time.

Sep 3, 2009 Bottled, courtesy Narnad. Murky brown with tints of orange and red. Light brown head is tiny, falling to a thin ring. Huge caramel aroma - wow - rounded out with chocolate malts and the faintest smoke. Caramel flavor - moderately sweet - is balanced with some slightly tangy grain notes (straw), subtle smoke, a little oak. Finish is a touch thin, although this is where I pick up the most smoke. I personally found the carbonation level a touch high and a bit distracting. Would never guess this is a 8%+ ABV beer.

Aug 22, 2009 Had on tap after a tour of the brewpub. It was sweet and smokey like it should be... and there was something odd about it.
