Not for the faint-of-heart!

Review by David P. on 4/18/2007

Pros: This is the beer to have if you're having just one (ok, or just two!) A serious quaff, with excellent maltiness and hearty flavors. This doesn't taste like a liquid malt kit - it's really first-rate. Let this one age a while before opening the first one...

Cons: This beer is clearly described as being high in alcohol, however in my opinion it suffers from somewhat too much octane.

Good for the cold season

Review by William H. on 1/4/2007

Pros: Very rich and full of flavor beer, great for after dinner on a cold night was a big hit with my close friends.

Cons: Everyone enjoyed it but a few said it was a little too sweet for thier taste.

The Fireside is smokey

Review by Jared K. on 11/29/2006

Pros: Nice beer. Smokey like the name suggests. No bad aftertaste. Give it a try.

Cons: Pricey, but if your worried about that go buy some Natty.

Excellent Kit!

Pros: I opened my first bottle last week, and I have to say that this is one of the best kits I've bought from you guys! Everything worked great. Great taste - very smooth - high alcohol content...what more can you ask for? Cheers!

Cons: What are the ingredients? It would be helpful to list them. Can't tell my friends what's in it.

Excellent Kit!
