Bottle: Poured a light black color beer with a medium head with below average retention. Aroma of faint smokiness is identifiable with very little of malt. Taste is smooth with some smoke though not as much as there should be. Very little hops seems to have been included in here and body is thinner then expected. A bit too light overall for my liking even though I would be tempted to give extra point for trying to be different.

Good luck trying to find this anymore. I know one guy who has one bottle left. I drank this four years old, with no bottle conditioning and it is only a 5% beer, but hot damn, this baby was fine!!!! As soon as you pour it you get a whiff of Bamberg. I thought this smelled alot like beachwood smoked but I guess I was wrong. The smoke is pretty much the only thing in the nose and it is big. The body has well rounded smoked character, but I was looking for more porter qualities. I also picked up a bit of cheese (oh how I regret not having some smoked gouda on hand when trying this one!) in the light mouth. The finish is slightly sour and off dry. WHY don’t they still make this beer. Though if they make again, they need to amp up the Porter part of the beer.
