On tap at Macro Beer Fest Ljubljana, 2018. Shared with Višnja 666. Coca-cola colour, dark brown head. Moderately to heavily smokey, very nice balance, charred wood, smoked meat. Wonderful smokey flavour, a bit overwhelming, slightly burnt, slightly one-sided. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, light finish. Very nice smokiness, base (style) lost or questionable, a bit thin. Interesting.

On tap at Sir William's Pub, pours a deep dark brown with a reddish tinge and a small beige head. Aroma brings out smoked malt upfront, followed by biscuity malt. Flavour is nice and smoky, with punchy campfire smoke and a crisp biscuity malt. Crisp and smoky. Nicely constructed and well-balanced. Very good.

On tap at Sir William's Pub's 20th Anniversary. Pours clear dark brown, topped with thinner beige head, creamy and lasting. Strong smoky nose with little bit of wood and lots of bacon. Taste follows. Slight sweetness, smoky character all over it with some medium final bitterness and even more pronounced smokiness later on. Nothing wrong with the beer itself, proper smoked lager - just not a favourite of teh style at all.
