Dec 7, 2005 [Draft at GBBF 2005] A brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet and very smoked with notes of rope. The flavor is also sweet and quite smoked - reminds me of smoked heering and rope. Nice one.

Jul 30, 2003 Sampled draught at Brauerei-Gaststätte Hummel, Merkendorf.
Clear nut brown. Beechwood smokey nose. Clean maltiness, balanced smokeyness. Short malt flavour and a salty bitterish finish.

Dec 14, 2003 Reddish-amber. Vibrant, slightly hazy colour. Some olive oil aroma with a light smokiness. The body is smokey, with light toasty bread notes. In this case, tettnang (I think) hopping cuts through the smoke in a most distracting fashion. The malts are underdeveloped, leaving a slight wateriness and a desire for something more Bambergian - this is like Celine Dion doing Beatles covers.

Feb 11, 2006 Tap@Batersea Beer festival. Too pale lagery and thin for a smoked beer. The smokeyness ends up being too sweet and on the sticky side. Needs a lot more body and smoky characters for me.

Feb 10, 2006 On tap at Battersea Beer Festival 2006. Chestnut colour with lasting off white head. Smokey bacon aroma. Good in mouth, quite smooth. Bit spicey, but a lovely smokey flavour. Good finish and a refreshing change from all of those bitters, bitters, bitters.....
