(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of CaptainCougar - 10.5% version. Pours a dark brown with a tint of red and a lively, dense, beige head. Aroma of smoke and sweetish, roasted malt. Full body full of very sweet, roasted malt and some burned accents. Quite smoky - Bamberg style - with a malt astringent finish. 160607

CBF07, what I can understand was another of Jeppes bottles (I’ll see if I can get replacements for this in the states), this time shared by someone else at the Mikkeller stand. Pours brown and amber. Aroma is roasted malts and slight smoked. Flavour is dry malty, smoked and goes into a good and decent bitterness in the finish.

Bottled@The 1st Vaasa CS/ES beer session (thanks JS). Quite much pitch black colour with beigeish brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, some tar as well as mild smoked wet wood and some slight ashes as well. Flavour is very much tar, smoked wet wood, slight roasted malts as well as old coffee. Rather mouthfilling feeling while having this.

Bottled at Københavnske Øldage. Dark hazy brown, creamy head. Smokey licorice aroma. Dryish with quite strong flavour of woody smoke. Medium sweet with full body. The high alcohol sines through, but doesn’t disturb, instead it adds complexity. Very good smoke ale!

Bottle. Dark brown coloured with a beige head. Roasted and smokey aroma. Roasted aroma of liquorice, chocolate and smoke. The smoke is very dominating in the aroma, but is more well balanced in the flavour.

Black color, with a huge rocky head, brownish. There is an initial aroma of smoke and dark malts, followed by light phenol and liquorice. Good body strength and structure, with an excellent chocolate flavor nicely corrected by a delicate smoke touch; it has a fair sweetness level that balances the dark flavors; in the end there is a hint of roasted malts and liquorice, not intrusive; the bitterness is quite strong, and the alcohol produces a pleasant warmth. Very good beer.
