Clear brown, with a thick tan head. The smoke is definite in the aroma, as is sweet malt. A definite smoke flavor, almost like liquid smoke in a smooth bock beer. While not displaying a lot of active carbonation in the glass, the beer comes alive in the mouth.

On draught at the brewery. Rich yellowish creamy foam on top of this very dark beer. Smoked aroma with some sweetness underneath. Mellow smoked flavours with a good nuttiness. Well-balanced, leaving the mouth nice and dry. Full-bodied. Solid craftmanship shines through.

Not a huge fan of the smoke beers, but decided to give this one another try in honor of Oktoberfest. Pour is dark amber with a medium off-white head. Aroma, flavor, and palate: smoked ham, oak, charred wood chips, roasty malts, and some campfire. Still can’t say I am a fan of this style, but its always interesting.

Tastes like breakfast! Actually, the very well balanced smoked, malt flavor DOES remind me of a hickory bacon style breakfast. The malt is present, but so is the smoke. There is almost no hop presence in the foreground, a little in the background, but it is so negligible that is almost not worth mentioning. A very good, different beer.

Pours dark with a thin off-white head. Smells like pork, or perhaps a fireplace. Taste is of bitter ham or sausage with some malt. Palate is a bit sharp, but that was expected. Not bad, but the Marzen was better.
