12oz bottle from ABC poured into a lager glass. Pours a clear dark amber with about 1 finger of white head. Aroma of smoked beef jerky, bonfire and some roasty malt. Taste is lightly bitter. Nice smoke taste. Not enough to overpower but enough to enjoy. Medium bodied with a somewhat thin texture. Lively carbonation and a long smoky finish. Overall, very good. I wish I would have got a 6pack of this instead of the single bottle.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of matl, caramel, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, as well as lighter notes of beechwood smoke, malt, and caramel.

Purchased at Archer Liquors in Chicago, IL; enjoyed during a brutal mid July heat wave. Also, this is my 600th beer rated! Appearance is a slightly dark and clear amber with a thin white head. Aroma of smoke, malt, roast beef, it is thin but nice. Taste goes down very nicely with the smoke notes, good carbonation, nice small bitterness. It’s pretty good, nothing outstanding but a good drinker on a hot, steamy night.

Amber color. Starts with a thick heads that fades quickly. Well carbonated. Light to moderate malt flavors. No smoke aroma, but there is some in the flavor. Unfortunately, it is too light. So while this doesn’t taste bad, what flavor it has is not enough.

Pours clear copper color with light tan head. Roasted malt aroma with light smokiness. Not a really smokey beer but it does have a nice subtle smokiness to it. Medim body with average carbonation. A little more smokiness would be nice.
