Adam77 (407), Eastampton, New Jersey, USA Mar 18, 2009 Poured hazy gold with fluffy white head. Huge aroma of meat. Lots of meat and smoke flavor in this guy. Can’t wait for it to be on tap again. lemasney (398), Trenton, New Jersey, USA Mar 30, 2008 It’s just not my type of beer - it seems well done for the type. Sampler at Princeton. Reddish brown body with a wispy head. Oily texture and overall sausage taste really just turn me off. Smoky flavor is a different direction that the one I want to go with beer. Lightly hopped, which is a negative for me. Well crafted, but hard for me personally to enjoy. moejuck (1165), Ohio, USA Dec 6, 2007 Hand-bottle sent to me a while back from Dickinsonbeer. Thanks Paul! Murky amber colored body with a thin head. Aroma is definitely smokey, but also has tinges of clove, anise, and yeast. The taste is complex, following the aroma but also adding in flavors of banana and lemon zest. Truly an interesting experience. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 11/01/2006

clear brown, whispy head, streaks of lace, smokey banana aroma, smokey malt flavor, nice slightly sweet banana character, just the right amount of sweetness to balance the smoke, light bitterness, the smoke and banana makes a nice combination

johnadam2002 (529), Hainesport, New Jersey, USA Aug 4, 2007 I really enjoyed this type of beer. Poured hazy yellow with fluffy white head. Aroma of a BBQ. A smoky flavor throughout with some fruit hints. Very different and very good. Solstice1222 (11), Pine Hill, New Jersey, USA Jul 4, 2007 This was a first for me at the Garden State Craft Brew Festival in June 2007. Triumph Brewing was by far the best at the fest. CaptainCougar (5374), Rockville, Maryland, USA Apr 14, 2007 Hand-bottle thanks to Dickinsonbeer, sampled in Nov. 2006: Pours a slightly hazy copper bronze with a thin ring of lightly-lacing off-white head. Great smoky wheaty banana clove aroma has good complexity. Body starts lightly sweet and malted wheaty with a nice balance of mild German hops. Palate is average, but could be a touch thicker. Very true to style, however, and enjoyable. MullMan (1079), Bloomfield, New Jersey, USA Mar 10, 2007 growler at Dickinsonbeer’s on 1/20/07. light tan head, clear golden amber color. aroma is smoky bubblegum and a bit sour. flavor is grassy malt, also gets a little bubblegum too. tangy and a bit watery finish. thanks, Paul!
