Jinx prepares the bones for snow. It has the glint of golden maples at peak and finishes light as an ode to the fading sun. A bit of peat-smoked malt imparts a subtle hint of smoke that reminds us of fall’s bonfires.

Off white head with a dark copper/amber color. Strong fruity and malty aroma. Drief fruit in the flavor... I didn’t get any smoke and wouldn’t have thought that this was a smoked beer... somewhat sweet and sour as well... high alcohol not noticeable.

Medium-dark translucent orange-brown body, slightly hazy, thin off-white head. Aroma of tobacco, toast, grapes (red wine), and moderate acidity. Toasty body with light tannic red grapes and medium chocolate notes, a touch nutty. I didn’t even realize this was a smoked beer. Light to medium body lacks complexity.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a moderately dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma was lightly sweet and malty. The flavor was dry, tangy, nutty and slightly woody. There was a nice touch of smoke that did not overwhelm. The finish was medium length and dry with a lightly woody element. Interesting.

The label is an inigma. Off volatile aroma in the first pop. 12 oz brown bottle. Dark iced tea look and slightly hazy. Yes oh yes, a smoky taste greets the palate but it is not overwhelming. It is just enough to tickle the gag reflexes and then lays off. Another swing and I feel burned wood creaminess on the palate. I got this one midsummer. Mouth coating and clinging at times. Not sure if I feel strong ale in here or not.

Bottle. Roasty, malty flavors. Slight burnt flavors make this drink excellent. Great undertones of caramel. Very refreshing.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 7 Oct) Dark amber colour with mahogany notes. Fruity nose with dark fruit, raisins, figs, caramel, notes of chocolate and smokey hints of rubber. Fruity taste with dark fruit, figs, dates, caramel, hints of chocolate and some balanced bitterness in the finish. Nice and warming, but lacking something extra.

Bottled. Amberish brown colour, with minor beige head. Aroma is leather, sweet caramellish malts and toffe. Even shows slight alcoholic hints. Flavour is roasted malts, hops, caramel and toffee. Quite dry in the aftertaste. Where’s the smoke?
