Dec 24, 2008 Pours adeep brown with nice tan, foamy head. Nose is barbeque smoke with a touch of molasses and malt underneath. Tastes like Texas barbeque in liquid form, roasted malt, and possibly some brown sugar. Medium carbonation, just about right. Very good brew, is not going to be for everyone but definitely worth a try.

Dec 19, 2008 This one is different. Smoky as hell, like eating a smoked ham sandwich...in liquid form. Medium bodied with significant carbonation. They say you love it or you hate it, but I am in the "it is decent" camp.

Dec 18, 2008 Pours like a flat cola. Dark brown, clear, carbonated, but no head.
Has the aroma of a smoked ham, brown sugar, apple, caramel. Liquid smoke, thick, smooth, and very well balanced. The finish is very chocolaty, with nice coffee and malt roastiness. Very tasty.
Palate is thick smooth tasty. Wonderful beer.

Nov 30, 2008 Poured a nice brown color with hints of ruby and a small tan head that dissipated quickly. The aroma was pure smokiness. Flavor is dominated by the woody smoke flavor, but a bit of grain and caramel maltiness are detectable. Mouthfeel is of a medium-bodied beer. I found it very drinkable and enjoyed it immensely.

Nov 29, 2008 Pourd deep ruby and clear. Medium-sized head is creamy and white in colour. Aroma is distincively deep and roasted with sweetish smoked ham-like malts, some ash and a hint of hops. Rich flavor is full of smoked, sweetish malts and the finish is medium bitter. Some sourish, coffee-like roastedness in the finish too. Palate is supersmooth and silky, medium bodied and slick. Fuller and more biter than märzen. Urbock is almost too easy and pleasant to be interesting anymore.

Nov 27, 2008 Pours a dark reddish brown color with a big tan head. nose is bacon and chocolate salt and sugar. Mouthfeel is medium and smooth taste is roasted and meaty. This beer is a bit of a novelty but I dig it.
Kavu (94), Jyväskylä, Finland
Nov 26, 2008 Dark brown with a nonexistent head. A very strong aroma of tar and smoke that’s continued in the flavor. Deserves credit for being a rauchbier that actually tastes like beer too.
mikkopen (250), Oulu, Finland
Nov 20, 2008 Deep reddish brown colour, thin off-white head. Nice aroma of smoke, tar and roasted malts. Sweet smoky malts and salty liquorice in the flavour, warm and dry ashy finish. Smooth and pleasant mouthfeel. Delicious.
