Big bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam, kindly provided by my mother-in-law and sharee at a local tasting. Pours black with a light brown film. Mellow smokey roasted nose. Mouth adds acidic and bitter flavors skillfully balanced and the smoke is well integrated and unintrusive. Medium to full bodied. Leaves the tongue dry.

Bottled 650ml. -Thanks a lot my darling Ines for bringing this from Amsterdam. Black coloured, medium sized pale brown head, smoke and mild bacon in the nose. Roasted malt, smoke, wood and bacon with hint of chocolate in rather bitter finish. Nice one...but expected more...

This bottle was brought to me by sister-in-law for providing her co-worker with a bit of free legal advice. After my first experience with a smoked beer was pretty awful, I tried this brew with great trepidation. Imagine my delight at the complex flavors presented by this beer. The smell of smoke and malts blends well and reminds me of camping trips with my dad and grandfather. Pours nearly black with a solid tan head. Flavor is smoked with just little bit of bitterness and malt. Like this beer and will try again. Bottle - Gift from Sister-In-Law

Botella. Black colour. Big brown head, good lacing. Smoky roasty pleasant aroma indeed. Good filling mouthfeel. Flavour of roasted malt and smoke along with chocolate and mild coffee. Væl smakkandi tjúkmyrk bjór.

2012 Bottle at home from drinkstore
Dark brown with fluffy tan head. Smoky, chipotle slightly bacon. Quite wood smoky, very fruity finish, low carbonation, sweet full bodied, toasty barley. Fab

Coffee colored. Stiff head, slowly disappearing. Smoky fragrance, smoky flavor, some sugar, coffee, dark chocolate and bitter herbs. A decent porter but nothing special.

It’s quite dark in here so I dont which color this beer has. It looks great. I like the smell. Smokey and some fruity tones. The taste is great too. Burnt and roasty. The palate fits in great with this one.

Bottle from bierzwerg.de. Almost black colored beer with medium beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, smoke. Taste, initially roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, than smoked ham, sausages arrives. Smokey finish. Enjoyable beer.

65cl Bottle @ home, bottled in 2012. I’ve just poured this clear, dark brown liquid, with ruby reflexes in the light and a thick creamy mocha-coloured head. Light smokey aroma, espresso coffee, ash, some dark honey sweetness coming through as it warms up. Super silky in the mouth, full, smokey taste, not much of the sweetness in the aroma left, but still strikingly balanced, not as aggressive as many german rauchbiers are. Leaves a light but lasting coffee impression in the mouth. Very nice, I’d really like to try it along with some food to pair with.

650 ml bottle, 2012 vintage, kindly shared by abemorsten. Black colour, moderate tan head. Lovely and balanced aroma between the smoked and roast malts. Roasty and smokey flavour too, but here the notes of "smoked sausage" come through a bit too strong for my taste.
