My first smoked beer and it’s like breakfast in a glass. I’m still tasting it this morning. My new favourite beer.

I didn’t think this could be better than the maerzen, but it is. Similar baconesque character, but a much dryer finish.

This beer is equal to the Märzen, but it’s more intense. More malty finish, which goes great together with the heavy smoke. A fantastic brew. I want to taste this from oak cask!

Bottle @ Beer Circus, Croydon with Duff & Kook. Aroma is sweet cured smokey bacon. Huge smoke taste balanced with some sweetness. Outstanding!
RERATE: From a wooden barrel @ Battersea Beer Festival. Sweet and full with huge smokiness. Better than the bottle.

It taste like a BBQ potato chip!!! I can’t believe how much I love this stuff. I loved it from the first smokey aroma to the last smokey sip. This is deffinitly the one of the strangest beers I have ever had and one of my Favorites!!!

Very smooth and well balanced. The smoke is strong, but not overwhelming. Nice dark bock color and lasting head. The malt is sweet, but well balanced by the smoke. Very gooey.

Whew! This is one bold f-ing beer. Huge Aroma! Nothing subtle or complex about the aroma, it's like beer bacon. Seriously, it reminds me of a smokehouse I used to visit in upstate NY. The smoke lingers on the tongue and coats the mouth but is not at all unwelcomed. Really a treat. There is a certain dry sweetness that pervades the thick palate, reminds of cured pork fat and dark/bitter chocolate. An excellent occasional beer and one that I can bust out a big ol' stein for (unfortunately I don't really know what it looks like thanks to the stein, but I'll assume is looks great beneath that massive frothy tan head).
