Bottle. Color brown with medium white head. Aroma malt, caramel, smoke, sugar. Taste sweet, smoke, wood, caramel.

Dark amber, medium creamy beige head. Definite smoke here, or bacon. Earthy, plums. Nice and not overdone. Balanced taste, malty, roasty focus. Good brew, fairly easily drinkable, even with the smoke and malty base. Everything seems to be in balance then while providing a solid, light sweet and definitely pleasant taste. Could match the German competition for me. Very nice to see this from a Dutch brewer too! (On tap at Kafe België)

33 cl bottle from De Bierkoning. Nice red-brown color, big beige longlasting head. Aroma’s: sweet malt, some smoke, a bit roast, hints of sour fruit. Flavor is medium sweet, caramel, with hints of smoke, roast and fruit. Medium body. Finishes a bit smoky with some roasty bitterness. Where’s the wood?

Dark beer, and beautifully red when looked against light. Smells malty, and sweet. First taste is malts and smoke. There does not seem to be much other aromas. I’d say the smokiness is punching with too heavy strikes.

Bottle @ home. The aroma has a lot of toasted caramel malts, dark fruits, some chocolate and a light hint of smoke. Hazy, brown coloured beer with an off-white/beige, medium head. The taste is moderate sweet, slightly bitter and has all the flavours present in the aroma. Medium bodied, well balanced. Very enjoyable.

Bottle 330ml. @ home on the terrace.

Clear medium to dark brown - orange amber colour with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly to fully lasting, light brown to beige head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, caramel, burnt brown sugar - caramel, brown sugar. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a long duration, smoke, brown sugar, caramel, roasted, burnt caramel - brown sugar. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

From bottle at Arendsnest on 5 April 2011. Reddish colour. Light smoke but not very prominent. Otherwise it’s dark malts, with some chewy fruit and a definite chocolate accent. Some sweetness but not too sticky. A pretty commendable and competent effort, albeit a style I’m not generally that fond of.

33cl bottle from ABCBeers. Lots of white head. Dark amber colour. Smokey after-taste but not overpowering

Bottle in the Arends Nest, Amsterdam. Hazy red brown beer. Nice off white head. Light dry palate. Creamy dry malt. Obvious smoke but not overdone. Tiny bit of fruit underneath. Creamy dry finish. Ok.
