Ungstrup (10824), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 8, 2004 [Vintage 2003] A black beer with a chocolate brown collapsing head. The aroma is smoked yet sweet with notes of tar and blubber. The flavor is sour malty with notes of wood and only slightly smoked. But the alcohol runs over the tongue even though the mouthfeel is thin yet soft. omhper (10140), Stockholm, Sweden May 17, 2004 Bottled, thanks rauchbier! Near black. Smokey licorice aroma. Firm and rounded, but a bit clean. Intricate mix of burnt malt with smoke. Salty finish. Papsoe (9663), Frederiksberg, Denmark Feb 26, 2006 (Bottle 65 cl) Pours opaque black with a small, off-white head. Malty, roasted nose with a whiff of smoke. Medium body with marked, hard roasted accents. A light, underlying tartness. A bitterness in the finish mainly originating in the malt. 240206 Oakes (6784), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Nov 22, 2005 On tap at Archer Ale House Slightly muddy dark brown colour. Rich smoke character with sweet chocolatey porter notes and light hints of roast. Just meaty stuff this is. Flavour is very balanced, with good sustained smokiness and beautifully extracted milk chocolatey malts. I like the fact that I had it at Archer’s - Rick wouldn’t carry this beer because one year it was so smoky nobody would buy it. joergen (6141), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 4, 2005 Bottled.
