(bottle, 33cl) Dark brown colour with a beige and short foamy head. Earthy and quite smoked malty aroma with notes of caramel, molasses and mildly fruity accents and a tinge of chocolate. Moderately sweet and slightly sour-fruity flavour, medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Present smoky and slightly roasted malty notes, earthy taste with notes of burnt wood, molasses, chocolate, as well as a fruity touch of ripe black cherries and morellos at the same time; mildly sweet and slightly sour-tart finish with notes of smoked malt, chocolate and a fruity edge. 15.VII.17

0.33 l bottle from ’BierPost.com’, best before October 2016. Black with a thin, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly smoky and a bit fruity aroma of caramel, molasses, raisins and some smoke. Sweetish-malty, a bit sourish, slightly fruity and a bit smoky taste of caramel, molasses, raisins, prunes, oak and a touch of smoke, followed by a medium long, slightly bitter, a bit woody-tart, a little roasty and minimally smoky finish. Medium to full body, slightly oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very tasty, quite sourish actually, but only slightly smoky, maybe past its prime. Expected more (or something different)!

(Draught at Hopfenreich, Berlin, 28 Aug 2016) Dark brown colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, smoky nose with chocolate, dark bread and smoked ham. Malty, smoky taste with notes of chocolate, coffee, dark bread, smoked ham, hints of sour cherries and a balanced roasty bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Quite complex with lots of chocolate to balance the smokiness. Nice one.
