Pours a semi-translucent honey-brown, with fair ring of white head. Aroma is outstanding smoked ham and beef jerky and spiced bacon. Flavor is smokey ham and dark berry, some wheat I suppose. Mouthfeel has an acidic sourness to it, but that fades as it breathes. Doesn’t hold a candle to their marzen, but is still a decent smoked brew.

Slightly muddy appearance with a medium head. Smoked wheatiness dominates and lingers for some time. Quite a gentle and pleasant drink.

(Bottle). Smokey aroma. Cloudy copper color, large off-white head. Flavor is lightly smokey, along with banana. Mouthfeel a little too light. Interesting, but not in same league as their Maerzen.

Bottle @ EBF, room temperature.. Murky, reddish brown, coarse pale head. Smoky aroma, dry tar. Flavor is smoke, yeast and sourish wheat. Almost medium bodied, average carbonation. Smoke didn’t fit in as neatly as I’d hoped.

The body is a dark, lightly hazy, caramel brown color with a well retained, foamy, off-white head. Some nice, thick bands of lacing circle the glass, with random, jagged flares protruding from the foamy ring. The aroma is straightforward and simple, caramel malts, hints of indiscernible fruit, and a moderate dose of smoke all showing. Flavors are similarly subdued and easy going. There are no complexities buried within the smoked caramel malt and dry wheat, it simply is what it is. The body is relatively light, with moderate carbonation and an overall dry feel. This is a bit underwhelming. I was expecting much more. Boring for a smoked brew.
