Bottle, courtesy of SinH4. Pours hazy dark amber with a big head and a beautiful retention. Aroma is peat, smoked malt, sausage, pig. Body is medium, strongly carbonated, ham, bacon, smoke. Too much carbonation, otherwise near perfect. Much lighter than the Schlenkerlas without compromising much on taste. Very good!

@ BXLfest 2017. Orangé, col blanc. Arôme est big/bold bbq style sur d'excellent effets fumés, malt en rétro. Palais est généreux et abondamment fumé, léger sur le côté caramel, fini noble avec une pointe d'amertume, malt tirant sur le pils et pâle avec ajout de malt fumé voire Munich. Petite amertume noble balance le tout sur la fin.

BXLBeerfest. Pours amber. Aroma is smoke, birch, some grainy notes, malt. Flavor is sweet and bitter, smoke, malt, birch. Overall: ok smoked, but I like the ones with hammy/sausage smoke (a’ la schlenkerla).
