1Pt bottle: Pours a very dark brown color with a very fast dissipating cream color head. First scent is of "liquid smoke" Reminds me of over cooked bacon.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
