Bottle, thanks to Koelschtrinker in trade, amber brown color with some malty metallic flavors and a fruity finish, lacking smoke

330ml bottle! Into the glass is a dark brown, almost black beer with a good, high, fine cream crown. The smell is roasty smoky, caramel. Not particularly for ham, but in fact only of smoke and fumes. Starts roasted malt and smoky, this time with a hint of ham note. Plays with a little chocolate in the far background. The aftertaste is peat-smoky, tangy, becoming relatively quickly hoppy. To finish, it remains slightly smoky roasted flavor with a good peaty and earthy tones in the background.

Bottle 500ml. Color brown with large brown head. Aroma caramel, roasted, smoke. Taste chocolate, smoke, burn caramel.

(draught) pours a slightly hazy ruby-brown colour with a frothy light brown head. aroma of lightly toasted grain, with a hint of chocolate, nuts and herbal hops, a bit nondescript. flavour is more chocolate in the foreground, with some light smoke and char and a toasted-bitter finish. medium body and carbonation, just slightly watery.

Swing top bottle. Slightly sweet smoked meat malt aroma. Dark reddish brown color with giant tan head. Sweet caramel malt and smoked meat flavor - a bit light but nicely blended. Subdued smokiness but very good.

(swing top bottle) Hazy, ruby coloured hue with a big and beige foamy head. Sweetish and toasty malty aroma with ashy notes, chocolate, herbal hops and a slightly smokey touch. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly ashy and leafy malt-character with notes of caramel, chocoate and rather restrained smoke-malty notes; dry-ish toasty malty finish with discreetly smokey notes and a tinge of herbal hops. Likeable brew, but rather disappointing as a smoked beer. 18.V.10

0.5 L bottle, shared with Rune and Gunnar@Plan B, København. Huge foamy, lightly tanned head. Body is dark brown, limited clarity. Aroma of toasted malts with a sourish-ashy accent. Sweet, light caramelly malt flavor. Subdued, delicate smokiness. Some bittering hops is noticable. Quite light-bodied, and feels kind of diluted in the mouth. Dries up towards the finish. Overall a balanced and harmonious Smoked.

500ml swing-top bottle shared with Gunnar and OleR at Plan B. Opaque, dark-brown body under a nice rocky, beige head. Well balance dark malty flavour with a slightly smoked touch. Bittersweet endnotes. Mild herbal dryness in the mouth. Good drinking (Copenhagen, 05.05.2010).

Shared bottle @ Plan B, Copenhagen. Pours hazy copper with a big frothy tan head. Aroma is dark malty, and some caramel. Taste is initially sweet, turns watery before a touch of smoke ends it all, nice beer.

Bottled. A hazy deep nut-brown beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and butterscotch. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, and nuts, leading to a dry nutty finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.
