Draught at CBF Wien.
Golden-amber, hazy body, with a small, creamy, off-white head.
Aroma of peaty smoke, spices, funk, sweet fruits, some caramel.
Taste follows this, with some more grains.
Medium, a bit creamy mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes spicy, smokey, sweet, a bit fruity.

Good, but not exactly my cup of tea. Quite strange mix and not that balanced in my opinion. Still interesting stuff, but nothing I would try again.

Dark amber-color with creamy beige head. Aroma is smoked ham, tart berry fruits. Taste is smokey, dark malts, a fresh fruity tartness which just gives a hint of a Berliner Weisse feeling before the malt body takes over again and makes it clear that there is a lot of ABV in this brew. A bit of a Balsamico feeling as well. Well-balanced and superbly drinkable, but it has an idea of a booziness, at least it?s a bit warming. It already shows hints of johannisbeeren, which makes me want to drink the Johannisburger version again. Very fine-bubbled carbonation. Good brew!

(Bottle) Cloudy dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, raisins, prunes, dark bread, brown sugar and a light vinegar acidity. Slightly vinous. Malty, fruity, slightly tart taste with caramel, dried fruit, raisins, prunes, black-currant, dark bread, roasted malt, hints of balsamic vinegar and a tart finish with a light bitterness. Almost full body, smooth mouthfeel, with a certain sweetness. Alcohol well hidden under the tartness. Quite different and very interesting. Nice one.
