Had this one in Cesky Krumlov. A good beer with only a little smoked taste. Even those that weren’t into beer recognized something a bit different and enjoyed it.

Bottled. Muddy brown color with average-sized head. Sweet and chocolatey with clear ashy smoke notes in aroma. Very Czech in the smell, feels like a sweet dunked. Ashy and dusty smoke and chocolate in flavor. Bit stale in mouthfeel. The smoke comes late and becomes intense only then. Longlasting smoke. Light to medium bodied. A confusing smoked beer.

500 ml bottle @ Naamat, Tampere.
Pours a black colour with a thick slightly off-white head. Aroma of of bready malts, light smoke and sweet fruits. Flavour of bready malts, metals, smoked wood and loads of sweetness. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel and a dry, sweet and malty finish. Way too sweet for me.

Tap. Very dark color, near black. Aroma is smoke, butter and sausage. Smoky taste with some sweetness.

Bottle, kindly shared by gunnar. Very dark brown colour, moderate beige head. The aroma has notes of brown bread, some caramel and smoked meat. The flavour has notes of smoked meat, malts and brown bread, a little hops in the finish.

bottled, thanks to mowbeer for grabbing some cheap bottles of this stuff. decent rich amber with a faint head; soft charcoal nose like yesterday’s campfire; tinny bitterness with some butterscotch in the background. became less enjoyable as i worked my way down the glass

20/11 0.5 l bottle from Krumlov. It poured clear, deep red body with medium sized head. Smoked cheese and ham aroma. Flavor had ham, smoked peat, with quite prominent caramel note. Quite light in body, with medium, slightly alkaline ash finish. A nice smoked for sure, yet a bit light.

Bottled 500ml. -Courtesy of heavy shared with him & Marko (thanks!) Black coloured, medium sized pale beige head, smoked cheese in the nose. Roasted malt, light caramel and smoked cheese with notes of butter and ham. Also light watery with noticable bitter hoppy finish. Not bad.

Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel and a bit of butter. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, and butter, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.
