Glass had in Philly at the Varga.
A: dark amber; no head, no threads, no lacing--you might think it dead!
S: jerky! jerky! jerky! Pungent; a thing of beauty
T: tastes as if a brown ale forms the base of the smoking; it is rather simple in flavor once you get past the jerky flavor (did I say jerky? jerky!)
M: a bit watery
D: not really engrossing enough for me to revisit, mainly because of its simplicity and watery character

I love this beer. I know this is one of those "take it or leave it" beers. I have brought growlers of it to parties and people don't take to the smokey aftertaste of a rauchbier. I would love to see Victory brew this more regularly. I haven't had it in two years and I check the taplist regularly. This is one of the better rauchbier said I have had.

Holy liquid smoke! I felt like I had been sitting near a camp fire from the smells and taste coming from my glass.
