Keg, Cask Pub and Kitchen, Pimlico, 03/04/12. Muddy ruby draped with beige. Good leathery, beechwood, smoked cheese, ancient galleon aroma..and tinned peach. Smoked Austrian cheese flavour, good rauch, some annoying sweet peachy (crystal?) malt back notes. Decent, imperfect. But I’m a sucker for a smoked...

On tap@schouskjelleren 14.10. 11. Dark amber body with a nice, creamy off-white head. Aroma is mild smoke, caramel malt with a hint of roasted pork and fruit. Flavor has more smoke than expected from aroma, but nothing extreme, caramel malt, fruity hops and rather strong bitterness. Fine body and a pleasant roasted malt aftertaste. A nice one.

06/15/2011 Ma che siete venuti a fà (tap). Ambrata intensa, con schiuma morbida bianca abbastanza persistente. Aroma di malti tostati, lievemente fruttato, con note di bacon e scamorza affumicata. In bocca è un miracolo di equilibrio, maltata, caramellata, con note affumicate decise ma mai troppo invadenti. Corpo medio, consistenza oleosa, carbonazione corretta. Birra affumicata godibilissima, leggera ma con un buon carattere.

(Draught@Pikkulintu, rated 2011-09-22) Murky red-brown with a firm and creamy head. Strongly smoky ham and tar in the delicious aroma. Softly malty, smoky, lightly tarry and roasty. Medium body, soft CO2. Really good stuff - strongly and pleasantly smoky, but also very drinkable.

RBESG 2011 day 1... dark brown ... big bubbly tan head ... soft sweet slightly smokey wooody toffee malt nose ... dark smoked malts ... soft toffee ... light malty roast

Fra kran på Schouskjelleren, Oslo 18 Okt 11. Mørk amber. Pent luftig skum som varer. Skummet legger seg i nivåmerker på glasset. God aroma av mørk frukt. Klart røykpreg. Lite annet. Antakeligvis slik det var i Dresden i 1945. Huff. Litt mye kullsyre.

On tap at Beer Temple. Dark amber body with no head. Nose is malty and woody. Taste is smoky, peaty and hammy. Pretty good smoked.

Tap sample at Beer Temple. Clear amber brown colour, off white head. Aroma of smoke, peat, iodine, light malty. Flavour is light sweet, peat, iodine, light smoke, dry thin and bitter finish. Light bodied.

250ml on tap at Bishop Arms in Copenhagen. Deep and clear dark amber body, shiny naked surface, no lace. Aroma of lightly smoked malts. Wood and smoke to the taste buds with chocolate malts behind. Short ending. Rather anonymous for the style. Overall an ok beer with a stupid, morbid name (02.11.2011).

On tap @ Beer Temple. Brown color, off-white to beige head. Aroma’s of smoke (smoked ham) and malty sweetness, hint of fruit. Flavor is only lightly sweet, smoked, fruity. Finishes with a subtle bitterness.
