Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has strong notes of beech wood smoke, as well as medium notes of caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes beech wood smoke, alcohol, caramel, and malt, leading to a dry alcoholic and smokey finish. A bit too much alcohol. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

22 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy dark orange to amber with a shortlived head. Aroma is dark caramelish and mild smoked. Smoked and sweet caramelish. Good balanced between smoke and malt sweetness. Ends linger sweet and slowly building smoked.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of bu11zeye. Pours a clear reddish brown with an off-white head. Fat baconish smoke in the nose with some burned caramel. Solid body, rich in burned caramel but dominated by a distinct Bamberg smoke. No real bitterness. 280110

22 oz bottle shared by beastiefan2k. Pour is a hazed brown orange, with a light khaki head that falls fast. Aroma is soft, dying campfire smokiness - really full and gentle. Turns to char in the back - nice nose, quite engaging. Taste is smoke, then some yeasty sweet earthy vegetal element that detracts some. Palate is medium to thin bodied, lowish carbonation and a pleasant smoky aftertaste. Thanks Eugene, this was a nice smoked beer.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a foamy tan head over a clear amber body. Aroma is smokey with leather and alcohol. Taste is smoke, apple, vinous and flaked wheat. Light bubbles, very thin mouthfeel for 10.2%.

Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is some rich malts and an ever so slight dark fruit. Flavor is holy smoke! I did not know this was a smoked till I saw the listing on here. I had thought i had gotten the wrong beer at first. But still its a smoked and i’m not really a fan. If your going to make a dopple don’t doctor it up with some gimick.

Bottle from Liquor Max in Loveland. Dark reddish copper color with a decent beige/tan head. Aroma of smoked. Maybe some caramel. Medium body with medium carbonation. Flavor is smoke over caramel. I think there’s hop, cause there is some bitterness, but the smoke sort of covers the details. Finishes smokey and fairly dry. Really interesting, and the concept of 10.2%? Damn well hidden. There’s a niche for this excellent beer which proves heavy lagers don’t need to be sweet.

Deep rubyesque dark amber body with a tight off-white head. Malty toasty aroma. Lightly sweet, well balanced Doppel Bock.

Many thanks to beastiefan2k for gifting this bottle to me (you rock, Eugene!) - clear reddish copper pour, with a short-lived head - very intensely smokey aroma, with charred hickory and various other woody notes (it smells like the embers left from a campfire when you crawl out of your tent in the morning), and some suprisingly tart, musty, earth smells - 10.2% alcohol? - if it is, it is well-hidden, because this stuff is smoooooth - not as much smoke flavor as the aroma suggests, but it’s still nice and strong - mild caramel sweetness - some light toffee as well, with touches of roasted nuts - the smoke really keeps the malt sweetness in check - a hint of alcohol swells up near the finish, but it mingles with a subtle spicy character that makes the slight burn warming and welcome - quite an interesting brew.
