Tap at HopDog's anniversary party, and HUGE thanks SinH4 and Jonas for pointing out it's the unfiltered version - it doesn't flaunt it, just a side-note - and yet, it's so important. Hazy chestnut body, off-white head. Strong, pungent leathery-smokey aroma with a fair dose of pleasant caramelly/nutty maltiness. Soft, smooth taste, nutty maltiness, bit caramelly, light leathery notes and smoke in superb balance taste-wise. Enticing and drinkable despite almost no bitterness. Subtle, balanced in a way, and just, simply put, lovely!

Edit: Rarely avaliable anywhere. My lucky day late easter at the brewery, April 2023. I only noticed it was on from a sign on my way out. And back I went with no tables avaliable. Angry women as always but I was lucky to chug a mug from a corner on a table in the middle. Chewy malty. Caramel, fruit and campfire. More body and straight up lovely. Although the lager is great this is perhaps even better - and then this is even unfiltered. Power!

500 ml tap. Chestnut brown red with a creamy head. Smoked ham, caramel, toffee, candy sugar, light citrus, cocoa, vanilla. Smoky umami, malty sweetness, mild dry bitterness. Full bodied, incredible creamy texture, soft carbonated, dry malty smoky finish. Great complexity, incredible mouthfeel, however slightly too sweet for my liking. Great nevertheless!

Tap. Hazy amber-brown color with beige head. Aroma is nice smoked Bratwurst, minerals. Taste is minerals, earthy, smoked, all the Franconian goodness. Mineraly chewy mouthfeel with natural carbonation. Very nice!

Red black, at least in candle light. Not really smoky. Soft mouthfeel, nicely carbonated. Round. Could be a tad more hoppy. Just a tad. Profits from good music and good company. Good doggo a plus. Name was Clooney.

On tap at HopDog. Slightly hazy brown, moderate head, nose is almost like a peated whisky, fantastic. Super smooth flavor, big mouthfeel with lots of brown sugar caramel, massive smoked flavor that blends perfectly with the whole package. Almost equals their Bock beer! Bring it on, more please.

Tap at HopDog. Cloudy chestnut brown, golden cream. Mellow fishy smoke and roast nose. Medium full chewy body, softer than the filtered version. grainy backbone, broad smoke notes, fruity, juicy, hop aromatics in the finish. Great!

Tap@Akkurat. Brunrödsvart vätska med kaffefärgat skum. Ljuvlig doft med lite inslag av rökighet och tjärpastill. Fantastiskt välavvägd balans i beska och sötma. Bra rökis.
