Not bad, but not particularly memorable either. Decent tasting beer with a relatively thin mouthfeel, minimal aroma, and unfortunately, no perceptible "smoke"

On tap at Dinosaur BBQ in Rochester, NY.

Pours a dark mahogany brown, with no head or lacing.

Smells slightly roasty and smoky, but it's faint.

The taste is kind of faint. Like the other Dino house brew, it doesn't necessarily taste bad, it's just a bit watery and boring. Mild, generic smoke flavor, a bit of roasted malt, small amount of chocolate.

More carbonated than I'd expect for a smoked porter. Light bodied, slightly watery mouthfeel. Still fairly drinkable.

Not Middle Ages' best effort here. Just boring and not all well executed.

On Tap at Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse NY for 4.00$

Appearance - Brown colour with with an average size fizzy head. There is an average amount of carbonation showing and there is some fair lacing. The head lasted for 3-4 minutes before it was gone.

Smell - Malts, chocolate, smoke/burnt notes

Taste & Mouth - There is an average amount of carbonation and the beer feels a little thin. I can taste malts, chocolate, and some smokey/burnt notes. There is also a bit of a graininess and it ends with a malty lightly smoked aftertaste.

Overall - Not a whole lot of smoke going on in the taste.. you really have to look for it while you drink. Still a very drinkable beer that compliments smokey BBQ food well.

On tap at Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse

A - Dark brown with a very slight amber glow on the bottom and a small layer of light brown head.

S - Roasted malts, light smoke, some chocolate and a big nutty aroma.

T - Roasted malts, chocolate, and a fairly prominent nutty flavour that begins to dominate after a few sips. The smoke is nowhere to be found.

M - Light to medium body. Slightly creamy. Moderate carbonation.

O - A decent beer but tasted like a mix of a brown ale and a lighter porter. No smoke at all.
