Courtesy daknole. Pours clear copper with gold edges and thin white head. The aroma is pretty thick with peach, apricot and apples as well as some mild soured fruit and cinnamon like spices. The taste offers up apples, apricots and lemon lime. This is an interesting combination of flavor notes. To midway more spiciness and some yeasty qualities are thrown into the mix.

Bottle thanks to Pollack. Pours black. Tan head. Nose is out of this world freshly brewed coffee beans, vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon and other spices. Taste is solid fresh coffee, chocolate, roasted and almost burnt barley, vanilla and light spices. Body could be a bit stronger.

Mostly toasted malts, caramel, and light herbal notes through this one with light citrus hops at the end. Not bad, but fairly non-descript.

Nice hookup from hopdog. 750mL bottle. Pours with a dark brown color and a small head. Aroma is not just smoked but as nice chard character. I like the mix of smoke and char. Flavor has more smoke and a cedar character. Its light and not boozy. Good smoke beer.

Re-rate: wow, when the heck did I have this beer originally. Well, I am at the brewpub right now in Lancaster. The beer seems to have changed a lot. Its a really tasty porter but I get no smoke, such a small percentage of the malt bill. I’ll leave the original rating b/c I am too lazy to think of new numbers.

Bottle opened on the bus ride from Orlando to Tampa Bay Brewing Co. Pours black with tan head. Aromas of coffee and roasted malts. Stale coffee and burnt malt flavors. The flavor is a letdown after the really nice aroma. A bit thin for a stout with moderate carbonation. Thanks to whoever opened this.

750 ml bottle shared by beastiefan2k. Pour is brown ruby, mostly clear with a smallish off white head that falls fast. Aroma is pure and full smoked peat, big and charred. Really not much else, eventually some roasted malt pokes through. One dimensional. Taste is more of the same, just pure charred smoke and peat. Light touch of the roast malt. Palate is medium, mouth coating (and sinus engulfing) and just the residual char. Wow, smoke bomb, one dimensional but still a fun one. Thanks Eugene.
