3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 suprchunk (1057) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - MAY 19, 2012
Dark ruby tinted brown. Big khaki head that lasts a long time. Plenty of lacing left behind. Huge smoked malt aroma. Some pepper and dark dried fruits. Big smoke flavor. A nice crisp dryness with a huge malt sweetness. Strange concoction, but very nice sipper.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 laiti (1665) - Tampere, FINLAND - MAY 19, 2012
50 cl bottle @ Gastropub Nordic. BBE 21.10.2010, brewed 21.12.08. Rated on 15.01.2011
Aroma has some smoke, hints of tar and ripe fruits. Flavour is smoky and somewhat malty with some wood and ash from campfire. Something isn’t correct here, I wonder if the bottle was just too old?
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20 Cunningham (1936) - Halden, NORWAY - MAY 10, 2012
Deep brownish and hazy colour. A beige head. Smokey and the bandit to me. Heavy smoked nose. Really massive flavour, but the heavy smoked barley kills everything. And also lots of alcohol. Not very recomendable in my oppinion. But I know that there are others out there who likes it :-) [Bottle from Vinmonopolet]
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 DasBierChef (943) - Lucan, Minnesota, USA - MAY 8, 2012
Pours a nice dark color with some delightful flavors. Aroma is not too shabby either.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 DuffMan (4417) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - MAY 7, 2012
On tap @ Radio Maria. Medium copper with a thin tan head. Aroma is of slightly smoky leather and faint band-aid. Palate is heavily phenolic, with heaps of band-aid flavour overlying a caramel sweetness and smokiness. Finish is very mouth-drying, not quite astringent, but getting there, with lots of leather and old dusty wood from a burnt barn. Not my favourite from these guys.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 Bathory (54) - Bryne, NORWAY - MAY 6, 2012
Aroma of caramel, chocolate, coffee, licorice, raisin, smoke and vanilla very complex beer. I feel that I almost can find a new taste in it each time I drink this one. Alcoholish finish, together with coffee and licorice.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 JStax (830) - Devola, Ohio, USA - APR 29, 2012
Poured on draft into a Belgian style drinking glass. Appearance is dark brown with a grey/purple colored head of foam. Aroma is all bacon and barbeque sauce and its quite daunting to know that you’re about to drink a glass of it. Smokiness is something I would typically prefer in a smaller quantity. Taste is just like I imagined it would be. Bacon really shines here. Wish I would have just gotten a sample.

0.5l bottle. No head as it pours, but a minimal khaki one soon materializes. Opaque dark brownish-red color. Very big body, dry carbonation. Kind of a strong alcohol taste, with the bitter. Dark fruit aromas. Little hop. Interesting, but difficult to drink.
