Clear amber with a medium off white head. Aroma had smoke, toasted malt, caramel and hints of bacon. Flavour had toasted malt, caramel, smoke and ham. Finished dry and bitter from the present hops.

Draught at the brewpub. Weak smoky aroma. Clear dark copper colour. Small off-white head. The flavour is quite smoky as well, also malty and slightly sweet. I do not know if the smoke is intended, but it works well.

From tap at Zeitgeist. Pours clear and golden orange with a creamy and slight off-white head. Butterish and mild roasted malty aroma. Light caramel in the initial flavour. Vague buterish note too. Light smoke note on the back of the nose.

Draught at Bruxellensis 2008, Brussels, Belgium
Clear amber body. Off-white, creamy/rocky head. Lightly smokey roma. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour with smokey ints. Nice, though not great.

On draft at Zeitgeist @ the Jolly Gardeners, Lambeth, 16/5/08. Chestnut coloured with a decent, foamy off-white head. Aroma of raisins, slightly smoky malt and a touch of caramel sweetness. Flavour was of slightly doughy malt, easy-drinking with more fruit, some earthy hops and spice and a touch of smoke in the finish. Excellent stuff.

Herb-süßer Antrunk mit leichter Rauchnote, die mit der Zeit süßer und etwas stärker wird. Angenehme Intensität des Rauches, der Hintergrund ist aber zu mild. Trocken, wenig herb und gerstig, sehr süffig. Im Abgang allgemein milder, etwa schokoladig. 9/9/10/10//10

bottle from MoritzF - Danke! Amber colour, large and creamy head which is very persistent. Malty aroma with a touch of smoke. Full-bodied, solid malty base, pleasantly hopped and with a very pleasant and appealing smoky touch.

Draft. A copper colored beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with a light note of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with quite strong notes of caramel. The alcohol is just barely felt on the tongue - and then a flowery hoppy note sets in and leads to a good bitter finish. Very fresh.
