Tap at HopDog. Dark brown. Smell is lovely smoke, more intense than the normal one. Also malt and bacon. Taste is soft and beautifully balanced, very light. Veeeeery drinkable.

Bottle, huge thanks Fil & Ryan for sharing! Coppery red clear body, beige head. Creamy smokey aroma, loads of dried fruit underneath. Creamy taste, lighter dry fruit notes, maybe peat, bacon notes, smoked prunes somehow. Quite nice, quality stuff by all means.

Bottle @Luppolo Station in Rome-Italy, thanks Mortlach. Pours a clear amber color with an irregular ivory gassy foam. Nose: honey and Smokey, speck. Mouth is perfectly clean, full while mirroring the nose character. The finish is sparkling and bitter-ish.

500ml bottle. Opalescent, dark ruby colour with small to average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white to beige head. Smoky and caramel malty aroma, notes of smoked ham, beechwood ashes, dark caramel, whiffs of grilled plum. Taste is smoky and caramel malty, notes of smoked ham, dark caramel, beechwood ashes, some leather, sticking-plaster, a touch of grilled plum, dark honey. Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth, soft, simultaneously minimally dry and minimally cloying palate, fine and soft, mildly prickly carbonation. Rich, intense and complex, thereby well balanced, harmonious - very (very!) close to Schlenkerla's legendary brews.

On tap at HopDog, clean dark crystal brown. Beautiful rounded complex nose with smoke, molasses, and a bit of roasted malt. The flavor is just a perfect balanced triad of smoke, caramel, and earthy hop bitterness. Daaamn is this one amazing beer!

Draught (Spezial, Bamberg) - Sampled November 2019. Dark brown with red tinges. Very smoky aroma with notes of beech and bacon. The taste is less smoky but still noticeably so and has a good balance with notes of berries, blackcurrant, ash, pomerans and raisins. Wunderbar!

18-01-20 // 330ml bottle shared with the local crew. Clear shiny amber. Good smokey ham nose. Well carbonated and full mouthfeel. Smooth. Rich nalty. Not too sweet. A balanced bitterness. Smoke in taste is way softer than in the nose. Well embedded. Really like it.
