On tap @ Beer Temple. Brown color, head is beige. Aroma’s of sweet malts, dark fruit, berries, maybe a hint of ash (might have been the smoker next to me who had just come in after a smoke). Flavor is lightly sweetish, fruity, with a starting bitterness. Medium body. Finishes eventually quite bitter, which saves this beer (not a fan on brown).

Draught. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Amber colour. Heavy malty and light hoppy aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Week and alright bacon notes. Moderate bitter long finish. Creamy palate.

On tap at Beer Temple. Darkest brown with thin and oily head. Nose sweet and high abv. Quite caramel like taste with plenty of smoky bacon in there too enjoyable.

I believe this was on tap at O’brien’s, when I rated this on Aug. 2, 2011. Cloudy orange with tiny white head. Nose is sweet hay/grass and light malt. Taste is sweet malt and tart funk behind. There’s no bacon! Where’s the bacon, man???

Like I said before with Uncommon Brewery, EVERYTHING IS DONE ORGANICALLY - this Bacon Ale Comes only in a 30L Keg but its no ordinary Keg, no sir, its a Bag in a box, you throw it away once its empty! Thank you for thinking of our environment Uncommon!! Now to the beer, BACON!!!! YUM what a concept! I was the lucky winner to taste this at Twin Lights Tap House in Highlands NJ. From what I hear its very limited so get there while its still on tap!

UPDATED: JAN 20, 2012 Draught @Ølbaren: Red brownish colored beer iwth an off white head and notes of dried dark fruits, rye bread, toasted malts and a light scent of smoke. Bacon? Not the faintest touch of bacon. Taste is sweet, light bitter, a little smokey.

Draft. A nut-briwn beer with a huge whipped cream head. The aroma has notes of nuts, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, straw, malt, nuts, and a bit of caramel, leading to a bitter finish.

Tap @ C4, Odense. A bit of roast and caramel. Slightly fruity but mainly bitter roast and caramel. Bitter with a slight salltyness. Medium bodied. Fine.

Draught. High creamy white lasting head. Clear dark brown body. Roasted malt caramel sweet fruity light bitter aroma and flavor. Low carbonation. Short aftertaste.

On tap. Pours a clear orangey brown with a dense and creamy beige head with an excellent retention leaving a neat lacework. Sweet caramel and subdued roast in the nose. Medium body, again lots of sweet caramel and a little nutty. The finish is dry with subtle hops. Nice but absolutely nothing baconish here. 121211
