Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Total Wine & More, Burlington. Appearance is crystal clear ruby red with nice sparkle, 3-finger width beige head after vigorous pour with good retention and sticky, soapy lacing. Aroma is strong smoke with nose deep in the glass, strong cherry/dark fruit (almost cough syrup) from further away. Taste is smokey sweetness (reminiscent of a smoked honey-baked ham). Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, amazing appearance and a nice change of pace but not the most pleasant experience.

Strong aroma of smoked ham. Sweet taste with smoked malt. Some wood. Extreme taste you have to acquire. Nevertheless a classic.

Tap. Dark brown with ruby color, with a fine, slightly brownish foam. Aroma: smoked cheese, a little dried-smoked pork, rich malt. Taste: very malty, slightly warming, smoked homemade ham, buttery, wine, slightly bitter finish. Excellent smoked beer for winter.

Pour is a cola brown with red highlights and a large pillowy tan head. Aroma is smoked ham and some caramel malt. Flavor is more smoked meat with a sweeter caramel, almost brown sugar sweet malt. I don't know how old this bottle is but this beer does not seem to be as a huge meat bomb as other from this brewer. Still tasty and unique.

Great base beer underneath. The smoke is dominant, but not overly done. It is a big burst of flavours in the mouth, strong and super malty. Their best beer. hop cult dresden

Botella 50 CL de Vivalabirra tomada en Llamas 15..08..2019. (r1762). Color negro con espuma beige oscuro persistente. Sabores y Aromas maltosos tostados con una buena dosis de ahumados. Cereales mojados ligeramente dulces con toques de levaduras y muchos ahumados. Cuerpo ligero fácil de beber líquida y fina. Cerveza y marca que la amas o la odias por el toque ahumado que le dan. Por suerte a mi me encanta. Para repetir sin duda alguna, para beber a litros.
