21/07 RBESG Grand Tasting, 0.375 l bottle. It poured hazy brown body with medium sized ivory head. Nice, slightly sour peat aroma, a bit of ham and caramel. Flavor was a bit sweet, caramel, raising and chocolate with smoked notes like burning log made of some dry wood. That added to some acidity. Medium in body with shorter, but nice caramel and milder smoked finish. Not what I used to in smoked beers, but I liked it.

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity wall adhesive light brown foam collar which was fine and even of structure. The beer also contained much carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has a clear black and a sweet taste. The after tast of the beer is hoppy bitter with a light roasted malty touch . This beer smells fruity.
