Unusual and playful this half-breed brew begins with a rush of smoky, almost savory, aromas and flavors. The distinctive campfire smokiness of a rauchbier lingers and beings to reveal the rich and velvety malt smoothness of a double bock with a notes of toffee and caramel. This roguish brew transforms from its bold start to a hearty and satisfying finish.

bottle - This brew has a pleasant wood smoke aroma with caramel/toffee malt character. It’s very sweet tasting with caramel and smoke. Hops presence is minimal, even in the finish, with malt sweetness and smoke lingering in this full bodied brew. Very good.

Bottle bought through craftbeer.se. Pours rubyish dark brown with a frothy and fizzy brownish beige head that quickly dissipates while leaving a small trace on the glass. Smell is sweet, malty and smokey with sweet dark bread, smoked sausage, dried ham, hay, caramel, golden syrup, burnt wood, smoke and hints of sweet soy sauce. Taste is sweet, bitter, malty and smokey with sweet dark bread, caramel, biscuits, dry cured ham, smoked sausage, hay, butterscotch hard candy, burnt wood, smoke, burnt cereal, persimmon, alcohol, sweet soy sauce and toffee. Mouthfeel is syrupy, round, sticky sweet, tiny boozy and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet, bitter, malty and smokey with caramel, sweet dark bread, biscuits, hay, moist soil, burnt wood, smoke, sweet soy sauce, smoked sausage and hints of orange peal. Solid offering that’s slightly too sweet and heavy to be really enjoyable.

Bottle 1 pt 6 fl oz, at Printz in Stockholm (Tele2 Arena) on October 26, 2013.Marked with Batch No. 2 on the back label.Hazy reddish brown color, small tan head. Sweet, malty, alcohol scent. Some more complex sugars and higher alcohols. Malty, toffee, some light smoke, sweet taste. Grainy and sweet aftertaste. Medium a bit fizzy mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Also some smoked aftertaste. Bottle wasn’t gushing, but was slowly working the foam/head out of the bottle by itself. A light Fusarium contamination on the grains perhaps?
