Bottle. Dark brown color with a off-whrite head. Aroma it smoke and sweet malt. Flavor is smoke, caramel, sweet in first mothfull second less smoke third is just vey nice a smoth bock.

A clear red beer with a nice but collapsing brown head. The aroma is nicely smoke - obviously from beechwood - with notes like tar and rope on an old sailship in summertime. The flavor is sweet and quite smoke, though not as extreme as I had expected, it also has notes of caramel, wood, toffee, as well as hints of coffee. A very complex flavor. The end is quite smoked, roasted, and dry. The mouthfeel is very well rounded. I must admit I had expected more - but it is a nice beer.

66 cL bottle (shared with faroeviking). Dark with ligth brown head. Sweetness and smoke in a nice blend. Soft and well balanced, it doesn’t feel like a bock. Slight bitter sweet finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) Dark mahogany with an orangey glow. Handsome, creamy beige head leaving a pretty lacework. Marked, smoky nose. Sweetish, full body with lots of roasted malt and caramel. But everything here is completely overpowered and drowned in fat, smoky flavours. No vague hints of smoke here, this is the real McCoy - a hardcore smoked. Hoppy finish. 180106

Bottled. Dark copper colour with big beige head, lacing. Aroma of smoky wet wood. with sweet hints. Sweetish caramelly flavour at first which turns into strong smokish wooden malty flavour in finish. Pleasant palate and overall too very nice.

Big beer! Lots of malt, smoke and alcohol. Lingering sausage like smokey flavour. This beer is not exactly allabout balance, it’s about new taste experiances.

Bottled. Clear brown coloured with a huge beige head. Smokey aroma with notes of wood. Sweet flavour of malts, smoke, wood and hops. I don’t like smoked beers, but after 4 days in Bamberg with decent german lagers and smoked beers, I’m appreciating beers like this.

Dark brow colour with a think longlasting tan head. Very smokey aroma. Flavor is malty and lots of smoked meat. Very well balanced. Malty and woody finish with a smokey aftertaste. A lovely beer.

UPDATED: OCT 8, 2012 24/11-09 .50cl bottle @ Zly Cazy, Prague. Pours dark brown with a small creamy white head and lacings. Lots of meat, bacon and camp fire. Chewy caramel and very full bodied. Quite heavy in all aspects. Still growing on me! Various bottles. Lovely smooth and full bodied. Smoke, bacon, meat and caramel. Really nice. 3,8-4

Draught from Partyfass. Lovely smoky aroma, salty salami smokiness. Clear, very dark brown colour. Creamy, quite stable, light brown head. Quite sweet flavour with some salami. Low carbonation and a very nice creamy mouthfeel. Yummy.
