| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 14, 2009 Bottle on a cloudy day in Wisconsin. Good smoked aroma along with some malt in the mix. Dark amber body with off white head. Smoked flavor thought beer along with some caramel malt and dried fruits. Good sipping brew as I was visiting with relatives from Wis sitting on a peir overlooking Beaver Dam lake as the sun goes down. GodOfThunder (873), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 14, 2009 Draft at Redlight. Fairly decent smokey beer, but not over the top. Pretty light, somewhat refreshing. Nice amount of malts and just a touch of smoke. Ughsmash (4030), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 12, 2009 Bottled. Poured smokey amber with a swirly cap of beige head (later pours left a much better cap). The aroma picked up toasted caramel laced with light liquid smoke.. nutty notes and earth provided later accents.. a little too far on the sweet side, but well-done. The flavor also had a sweet overall impression, but it had an intriguing smoky/oaky sourness that rode the whole way through.. some earth and drier nutty character across the middle.. finished long with smoked peat over sweet caramel. Medium-bodied with higher carbonation on the palate.. smoke was moderate and decently balanced with the sweet malts.. a touch scratchy on the finish. This was a solid, tasty, easy-drinkin’ beer. bu11zeye (5470), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Apr 22, 2009 The aroma is sweet and malty first and smokey second which I like. It’s also got a touch of fruitiness. The appearance is mahogany with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall it is a good smoke to me but smoke lovers will not think highly of it.
