Sampled from the tap at Bavarian Lodge. Pours a clear amber gold with a white head they dissipates to the edges. Aroma has rich smoke with a bit of sweet grains and bread supporting. Flavor starts with a nice smoke and bread with a bit of sweet grain and a thin finish.

On tap at the brewery. Dark orange to amber with white head. Nice smokey nose, malty, some caramel, tad sweet. Soft texture. Good stuff.

Tap at Goldfinger. 8 dollar half liter. Smells official and awesome. Smoke centered all the way, true to style. Filtered. Good, but unfortunate that it has to cost close to ten dollars a pint after tax and tip. Hopefully they put this is six-packs, as bar price is untenable for me.

Rating #3900! Draft at Goldfinger. Tall straight glass shows a puffy head over an amber beer body. That Bamberg smoked ham smell you either love or hate. Taste has the initial smoke note, but there's also malt working its way in to the palate. As a fresh beer, there's a tinge of hop bitterness on the edge that might get wiped out with an smoked beer sitis in a can or bottle for longer that a week. Finish is pretty malty and satisfying.
