Bottled. Poured a deep reddish-amber with a freakin’ huge pillowy beige head. The nose picked up bushels of cured ham, well-smoked bacon, and charred wood.. rich and engaging.. glass fulla smoky meat (wife says that it’s disgusting). The flavor holds par.. fuller-bodied and rich, with the toasted, smoked wood blending very well with the meaty notes... ample doses of brown sugar and molasses pair with toasted leafy hoppage for the bock component.. finish was somewhat ashy, which detracted slightly. Fuller-bodied with nice flow until the very end. Great beer!

Sep 4, 2008 V - clear dark brown with a small head and little to zero lace.
A - Similar aroma to that of the marzen, with a highly smoky, sausage aroma.
T - smooth, creamy, malty with smoke aspects.
P - Pretty smooth.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle from Beerlando. Thanks!
Pours dark brownish, clear with a tan head. Smell is smoky, juicy meat. Taste is surprisingly hoppy for a smoked beer with balanced malt and a slightly overpowering smokiness. Pretty smoky, but not too, too much. Thin mouthfeel that detracts. Too watery. Not bad, but I liked the Marzen quite a bit better.

Sep 2, 2008 Soooooooooo smoky. Aroma of smoky burnt malts, smoked bacon, and lots of plain campfire smoke. A great thick mouthfeel, some amazing maltiness, and it mingles so well with the smoke, man this is really a treat, just seems to be more complete than its cousin the Marzen.

Sep 1, 2008 A rare beer for sure. Its smokey flavor is natural and makes for a great extra to a steak or barbque. Its had to drink many of them and it does not mix well. But a must try for sure.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours red brown with a tan head. Smoky and earthy aroma, with burlap and a slightly sweet caramel note. Smooth body. Smokey flavor, with peat, wood, and sweet notes of caramel. Really good, though I like both the Weizen and the Marzen a bit better.
