Has a good smokey aroma. Roasted nuts and malts dominate the nose. Has a good flavor of smokeiness. A good amount of carbination and a good mouthfeel. Has a medium body and dances on the tongue. Has a smokey solid finish. This is a perfect seasonal, brewed to warm the soul. Very well done. mar (1982), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear cola brown with a thick tanned beige head. Aromas of smoked malt, toast, and a little bit of hops. Creamy and almost oily medium thick mouthfeel. Slightly disconcerting. Flavor is nice and malty with some smoke. Finishes the same way, but that oily texture is a bit perplexing. Seems like an awesome beer to take camping though. Tmoney99 (4802), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Dark copper, murky colored pour - thin, off-white head that leaves a bit of lacing. Smoky-sweet aroma with some good peaty, earthy accents. Good smokey bar-b-q flavor that does not get cloying or hit you with a hammer - nice and sweet and subtle. Back end has a hint of sweet Christmas-like spice. Thick, rich mouthfeel. Very solid.
