Bottle. Small and quickly disappearing off-white head. Pitch black body. Mild coffee cocoa aroma. Coffee cocoa and liquorice flavor without much smoke. Long bittersweet aftertaste. Low carbonation.

Aug 16, 2008 RBESG08 Grand Tasting (thanks Per!). As I wrote elsewhere: this is no Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier — the smoke here is much more understated, closer to the version (or versions) from Spezial. It’s deep ruby with a nice sandy head and a nose of malt, oats and honey. After a semi-sweet gulp on the tongue, there’s an aromatic, Montecristo-peppery smokiness. The finish is lasting but not overbearing. Very nice!

Jul 30, 2008 Bottled @ RBESG Grand Tasting 2008. A bit hazy and deep amber coloured with a medium sized head. Nice and smokey and really well balanced. Easy drinkeable without getting anonymous.

Poured a murky red brown body. Very smokey nose, pancetta. Same continues into the taste... smoke, pancetta, some roast. Great smoke character.
