A - Dark brown almost black body with 2 fingers of fluffy tan head. Head vanishes. S - Toasted leather, dark malts, smoked peat, sorghum, liquid smoke, iron minerals, strange herb perfume aroma, hickory wood chips. T - Watered down liquid smoke, roasted malts, toasted sugars, unknown fruit character barely sneaks out among the savory smoked meat flavor. Hints of cocoa and muted coffee bean. Finishes sweet with slight hop bitterness. M - Medium body, moderate carbonation. Interesting twist on the style. The smoke character is bold, and has a good amount of sweetness to balance. I only noticed the black tea on the aftertaste. Try it for something different. Serving type: bottle 09-30-2011

Bottle at Chriso Easter "Flags of many nations" Tasting, 31/03/13 thanks to Jan. Very dark mahogony brown with a thin beige head that clears edgeward. Nose carries smokey tones, lapsang souchong tea leaves, dark malts. Taste comprises dark malt, herbal tea leaves again reminiscent of lapsang souchong, brown sugars, toffee. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Decent stuff.

Tasting at ChrisO’s. Opaque dark brown beer, little pale tan head. Softish palate, light and a little dry. Mild malts and a touch of tangy tea. Light softish finish.

cask at chris0... deep roast ... sweet smokey blackcurrant ... ... sweet roast ... dark malts ... big blackcurrant ... soft fruits ... light malts... over swet

Crazy powerful aroma of malt, plums, dates. Taste is just much too sweet for me, very syrupy. Left Hand sure knows how to make flavorful beers, this one just isn’t my style.

Dark brown with medium large beige head. Aroma is pretty nice, smoky malt and tea, herbs and chocolate. Medium body. No alcohol. Flavor is on the sweet side with smoky malt and beef jerky background. A little syrupy but mostly drinkable. Interesting if not entirely successful.

Overwhelming aroma of bacon and shellfish from the bottle. Very sticky, cloying, traditional wheat notes, lactic.

650ml bottle. Hazy dark brown colour with huge, firm, frothy, diminishing, beige head. Smokey malt aroma, hints of bacon and dark honey. Taste is initially sweet smokey, barbecue sauce, baked banana in honey, later with minimally tart, slighty floral overtones; sticky palate, vanishing carbonation gives an insipid impression. Untypical Weizenbock with a principally nice, slightly overdone smokey note; overall way too sweet and insipid.

Strong aroma of smoked bacon. The flavor is a heavily smoked blend of meat and malt. Good flavor but would be better if it were smoother.
