aracauna (2357), Georgia, USA Sep 21, 2006 Pours a dark, clear red wiht a good, creamy head. The aroma is definitely smokey, with a touch of chocolate and maybe even a tiny bit of coffee. There’s a bit of sweetness in the flavor, but not a lot more than smoke in the aroma. PilsnerPeter (2598), Flushing, New York, USA Sep 21, 2006 Updated: Sep 24, 2009This beer is different! It pours dark brown with red hue in the light, and has a thin off-white head. The aroma amazingly captures the character of smoked sausages, beef jerky and has a malty background. Beautiful, creamy mouthfeel and body. Full flavored and very chewy. Hickory like smokeyness is apparent, similiar to the flavors of sausage and bacon off of a fresh grill. There’s a slight, subtle malty touch in the background, but a long, full smokeyness predominates. The finish is long and has a pleasant, slightly burnt like character, almost giving off the feeling of a wood-burning stove. Good for a cold fall or winter night. Very different. mutant (854), Melbourne, Australia Sep 20, 2006 Ruby coloured with a consistent tan head. Slightly less of the smoked ham aroma in this one allowing a bit of sweetness. Also initially tastes very sweet but develops good bitterness into a long aftertaste. Better than the Wiezen. Tmoney99 (4660), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Sep 17, 2006 Bottle. Poured clear dark brown with a large light brown frothy head that was mostly lasting with very good lacing. Moderate woody smoke malt aroma. Medium body. Medium sweet smoke flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. Complex standout beer. Kinz (2179), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA Sep 17, 2006 Dark ruby, nice head. Huge strong aroma of smoke and little sausages. Flavor is of liquid smoke, with a beer lurking somewhere in the background, utterly obliterated. More tolerable than some of the others from this brewer, I still liked the helles the best. Would be great to cook with though. Not a bad beer, just not my bag, baby. SSSteve (2048), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Sep 16, 2006 ruby colored with a small tan head. huge burning wood aroma. smoked meat, firewood, beef jerky, smoke flavor with a sweet bock underneath. excellent beer. brings back campfire memories. lingering smoke aftertaste. puzzl (2579), New York, New York, USA Sep 13, 2006 This is what smoked is all about. Blistering, burning smoke aroma, oak and cheddar; outstanding. Flavor is a thick wheaty smokefest, with an interesting assertiveness in the hops. This beer is completely over the top and overwhelmingly enjoyable. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 12, 2006 Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours brown with an off-white head. Aroma of smoke and wood. the flavor is smoke and bitter hops. Good beer.
