Backlog March 2008. Bottle. Unclear golden body under a big off-white head. Aroma is malty with a moderate smoke part and hint of smoked meat. Taste is sweet malt, smoke, some caramel and light fruity hops. Medium body and average aftertaster with a milder smoked impact. Decent but not the most interesting version of a smoked ale.

From May 2007
This pours a clear amber with a very small head of foam that shrinks to just some scattering in the middle and has very little lacing.
The smell is a light malty nose with some hoppiness.
The taste on first sip has a good caramel malt flavour that is followed up quickly by some citrusy hop bitterness. Not much smoke that I can note except maybe in the finish.
Further sips in and the smoke becomes more noticeable but, imho, it doesn't seem to "mesh" too well with the malt and hops.
The mouthfeel is good except near the finish where it borders on being watery and the carbonation is fairly substantial.
Bottom line: I think it's pretty good but it's not something I'd drink on a regular rotation. Try it and see what you think.

From old tasting notes. Hazy reddish brown color. Creamy beige head. Smoky chocolate malt nose. Interesting roasted malt flavor with an obvious smokiness that brings to mind hints of Canadian bacon and camp fires. Hoppy finish and complex maltiness.

My first go at a smoke beer. Poured at a local tavern. Appearance is dark, of course, with very little head. I smell the smoke, of course, and the first taste is the same. That comes with some coffee and a bit of chocolate. Also something earthy. Tobacco perhaps. Variety is good but I’ll take an imperial stout or porter over this.

Rated from old notes. Generally a fan of smoked beers but this one did not do it for me. A flat, lifeless experience. Looks like heavy apple cider, smells like salami, tastes like a mistake.

Underwhelming. No initial smell. Pours black with great lacing. Average carbonation. Has booze and roast malt in aroma. On tap at Hopcat.

65 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 07.11.2009
Aroma has some smoke, tar and distant woody notes. Flavour is somewhat sweet smoke, some tar, woody notes and hints of chocolate. Sticky palate, but still feels a bit thin.

4 oz sample at Rogue Brewers on the Bay yesterday. Pours hazy goldish amber with nice lace. Aroma and taste are all campfire smoke, smoked meats, delicious. Nice smoked beer.
