Ungstrup (14754), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 29, 2009 Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel as well as light notes of smoke. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and smoke from beech wood, as well as notes of over ripe fruits and alcohol, leading to a dry finish where the alcohol tickles the tongue. Thank a million CaptainCougar for coming to Denmark and bringing this - I’m really happy to try one of the other rare examples of a smoked BW, but I think Ungstrup’s Reserve is the better... Theis (3617), Denmark Sep 6, 2009 Bottle at Papsø’s - Thanks to CaptainCougar. Cloudy red/brown - white head. Caramel, fruity, nice light smokey, lovely smooth body, sweetness, bacon, sticky body, light syrup, toasted, light roasted. Gypsy19 (603), California, USA Sep 5, 2009 Pours a cloudy dark brown with just a thin layer of head on top. Aroma is indeed smoky, with sweet malts in the background. Flavor is mostly of honey and malt, with a little bit of smoky liquid meat marinade. Sticky mouthfeel and finish. Overall, good minus. KimJohansen (6676), Copenhagen V, Denmark Aug 31, 2009 Hazy orange with a tiny beige head. Sweet and smoked aroma with toasted malt, caramel and overrripe fruits.

Distinct aroma of Bamberg smoke and caramel. Solid body, low in carbonation, sweet notes of caramel and chocolate with a hoppy finish. The smokiness really shines through. 300809 GodOfThunder (855), Orlando, Florida, USA Aug 14, 2009 Special thanks to Northernbrews for hooking up the Bell’s 4000-8000 tasting. All great brews. This one still had a good bit of smoke and ash to go with a little oxidation and some malts. Still a nice beer to sip on. coyotehunter (542), , Michigan, USA Jun 14, 2009 Gift from a friend. Thanks Trevor!Obviously this one has lost the smokieness with its age. A light light oxidation is present as well. It seems to have taken on an almost barleywine look and taste. Caramel and brown sugar dominate leaving a light alcohol burn. Still, this is not bad.
