Feb 14, 2009 Tap at Mile Square, Hoboken. Deep brown beer with a thick white head. Aroma is lightly malty with a kiss of soft spiciness and an even softer smokiness. Nice soft crackery malt base. Flavour also has a touch of soft smokiness. Slightly sticky and a little bit bland in spite of it. There is not really a whole lot going on in here. Fairly hoppy/herbal bitterness. I can’t say I care for this all that much.

Feb 11, 2009 Thanks to Dmac for a bottle of this. Pours out a somewhat clear reddish tinged brown with a small lacing white head. Aroma is of smoke, caramel malts and some fruity notes. Taste is complex and well balanced, smoke isn’t overwhelming but is present throughout, some nice sweet malts, caramel, toffee and some other fruity notes in there also, no trace what so ever of the 7.5%.

Feb 11, 2009 Brown with dense off-white head. Toasty malt aroma. Sweet malt flavor with some roasted malt makes this a nice full flavored seasonal brew. Finishes clean.

Feb 9, 2009 Ah- didnt realize this was the old Charlie. Pours a deep dark amber with a decent lasting head. Aroma is smokey spicy, black pepper- smoked meats and campfire, although not over the top with a smokey chipotely pepper kick. Sweet flavor- some caramel and toasted malts , toffee, molasses a bit crackery and starts to dry out about half way throuhg with more pepper and spic and a low dull cold smoke thing going on.
