Notes from May 2009 Baby growler from New Beer. Again, same DFH glass. Half inch of tan-ish cola head. Filtered, bright bourbon amber color. Very sparse, dotted lace. Salty, fat side ham that's just mildly smoked with a sweet wood. Maybe a touch mineral-ly & even Gouda-y. (I often find that Sly Fox tries their hand at too many things, not quite getting it right, but this is one of my favorites. Just an awesome smell to it.) Taste at first is more on the acrid side(think burning bark), even a little papery(when cold). Once it warms a touch, it's perceived more as a balancing chewy bitterness. Middle to end gets most of the hammy flavor. Sweet, salted, smoked, liquid pork. :) A little extra bitter char on the end there to close it out easier. Alcohol is there, but quite a distant thought. As expected, light hef on the body. Carbonation is a little too strong, (even after three weeks sitting in a bottle), but it works well with food. Maybe it's to keep the fat from congealing. :P

Draught at the Lovin’ Cup. Aroma of smoked bacon, some fruit. Amber-red color with lace. Nicely balanced smoke flavor with wood, bacon, slightly fruity, and I would guess it’s an ale. Nice, clean, and balanced.

Draught at Ginger Man, 36th NYC
Dark amber color; creamy head. The aroma has some salame smokeyness (strange). Good malty body, sweet, with sweet caramel and nice, light smoked. Pleasant.

Tap at Barcade. Dark amber color and rather translucent. A medium breasy smoked aroma. Taste is at first really nothing but at the tail end a strong sweet skoe kicks in. Leaves a long sweet smoked aftertaste. I just wish for more body and overall heft to the beer.
