TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - DEC 19, 2009
Bottled (BB 12/2009)
Golden, slighlty amber color, small white head. Grainy, a bit buttery aroma, not much smokey. Sweetish malty flavor, decent body, smoked ham (Bamberg smoke malts) flavor. Reasonably balanced and drinkable, although not really exiciting smoked beer.

[RBESG, Sheffield]
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).

bierkoning (7777) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - MAY 26, 2009
Bottle from Nightfall, thanks! Golden color. Smoked cheese aroma with beechwood. Milky flavor, lightly smoked, with beechwood and smoked cheese, and hints of peach and apple. Not in any way comparable with the great Bamberg beers, but this is a very pleasant lager!

Pinball (7772) - Copenhagen, 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
