Bottle @ Cruzat: Light colored for the style, taste is light and simple. Would expect a bit more character.

Clear, light caramel color; medium white head. Strong aroma of butter, honey, sugar and smoked ham. Flavor is smoked, too, flowery with an oily texture and some bitterness as background.<br /><br /><i>Thanks to <a href=http://ratebeer.com/View-User-2778.htm> Omhper</a> for this one!.<br />Shared with<a href = http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-30044.htm> Panzerfaust </a>and<a href = http://ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=35128> Nigredo </a></i><br />

Pours a hazy amber color. Head is white, medium, airy and diminishes fast. It laces pretty well in my glass though. Aroma is smokey with lots of buttery notes. There is some smoked ham, salmon and hidden fruity hints of berries. This is something new for me. Flavor is smokey too with slightly sweet touches. Lots of smoked ham, some fresh fish and strawberries in the back. Weird but I like it. Low carbonation, medium body. Finish is very smokey. A little light texture. Aftertaste is good. I was expecting a more Tobacco like smokeyness. Simple, not many flavors come out but a well done and strange beer.<br /><br /> <i>Thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-2778.htm>omhper </a>for this one<br /> Shared with <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-31163.htm>Lilith</a> and <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-35128.htm>nigredo</a></i><br />

<i>Bottled. </i> Lightly hazy amber, rich creamy head. Salty bacon-smokey nose. Dryish with gentle rounded cookie malt, light-medium body. Restrained hoppiness and low bitterness. An excellent rauchbier with it’s evident but not overpowering smokiness.
