750, slightly different label - I love me some smoked beer, so when I saw "bamburg style smoked beer" on the label, I got really excited - pours a deep, dark brown, with a well-retained lace - so far so good - nice beechwood smoke in the aroma, with some toasted malt, caramel, chocolate, some vegetal qualities - okay, not as good as I wanted the nose to be, but there is still hope - full carbonation in the mouth - flavor of burnt malts, sour cherries, leafy/tobacco character, crappy chocolate, smoke, ashy flavor, day-old coffee - ah-ha, here is where it is ruined.

Bottle: Poured a deep black color lager with a huge medium brown color head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of light bitter roasted malt with distinctive notes of smoke. Taste is a mix between some medium smoke malt with some light bitter dry roasted malt note. Full body with good carbonation. I would have enjoyed this with even more smoked notes but very good nonetheless.
