[11/16] Bottle. Not quite clear deep amber with a pale beige head that never disappears. Enveloping smoky toffee vanilla toast aroma. Some delicate floral notes somehow float above. Reduced creamy texture with low carbonation. Sweet but not hugely so, but with layers of toasted and caramelised flavours, smoke and mild spices. Clean. No real sign of alcohol. Bitterness is moderate but somehow floats through unobstructed, causing the smoky toffee to fade very slowly away. [4.0][11/17] Kept a year. There are suggestions it ages well. It's still well in date. Eh, it's going bad slowly.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, copper-ish brown colour with late awakening, average to huge, thick, creamy, mostly lasting, well lacing, sulphureous beige head. Woody, smoky and slightly peaty aroma with hints of leather, a cautious touch of shoe polish, liver and sticking-plaster. Taste is moderately sweet, smoky and caramel malty, peaty, hints of sticking-plaster, TCP, asphalt; full body, oily texture, gentle, adequate carbonation. Slightly overdone, not as balanced as Schlenkerla beers, slightly too far in the peat and TCP direction.

At BBF, clear intense deep Red color, mellow aroma of smoked meat with light charred wood and light maltiness behind, charred wood and caramel flavor with some chocolate and smoked meat in the back. Very nice and enjoyable sipping beer.

Draft @ Borefts 2016. Shared with RB Belgian crew. Brune foncée, crémeux beige. Arôme offre un bouquet bien fumé avec un petit relent de bbq, malté divin offrant de belles effluves de Bamberg malt, pointe de houblonné léger en retrait. Palais est malté avec un fumé très dominant et chargé en note de de porc grillé, caramel est profond avec un accompagnement finemetn fruité sec/noir. Alcool est bien présent et renforce cette sensation de fumé. Pas grand chose d’autres à dire, c’est du solide.
