Grand Tasting @ The Harlequin, Sheffield.
Pours clear dark golden with a fine, small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is mildly smoky, some malty sweetness. Low, prickly carbonation, just a wee bit thin. Flavour is nicely smoky, some sweetness and malts. Okay beer (perhaps a tad too sweet). Borresteijn (1349), Amstelveen, Netherlands Jul 23, 2009 RBESG Sheffield 2009 Grand Tasting at the Harlequin. Clear amber colour, light off white head. Aroma of campfire smoke, toffee malts. Flavour is toffee, malty, smoked beechwood, smoked eel. Light to medium bodied, very tasty beer. Pinball (2693), Allerød, Denmark Jun 13, 2009 33cl bottle, bought in la boheme to take with me. rethymno, crete.
amber, small thick white head that goes away quickly.
distinctively smoked aroma, also some peach, the fruity touch a little disturbing to the very very nice wooden smoked aroma.
flavor is very mild, smoked wood, faint caramelly sweetness, very faint flowery note to it, probably hops, intersting that the beer has loads of delicate smoke, but no roasted grans in it. very clear smoke profile. cool!. the rough smoked sensation balanced nicely with soft mildness and slight sweetness.
palate is very soft and velvety.
if you like smoked, you’ll love this one dagimp (108), Philly, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 7, 2009 On tap at Green something or other cafe in Athens. Smokey smell. Little bit of head which dissipated quickly. Taste was.... smokey! A bit sour too. Kind of odd, but I thought it would be heavier just because of the smokey taste, but it wasn’t. Kudos to Craft for bringing some good beer to Greece. I’m not a big fan of smoke flavor in general, but if you are, and can deal with the sourness, this is a good beer. zakkbironia (82), Athens, Greece Jun 1, 2009 330 ml bottle. Beautiful brown golden color and white foam. But its taste is the true experience. It gives you a rare spice as you drink it. Unusual but worth a try. Actually I tasted bacon!
