Smoked malt, peat, with bacon, berries, a little citrus bite make for an intriguing taste sensation. This bottle has aged a year, so the flavours are coming together. Rich body and alcohol level speak to the potential of aging further. Nice rich dense body too. I am really at a loss to evaluate this one in a definitive fashion beyond that. Quite unique, however you cut it!

Spicy, very smoky. Big notes of burnt wood, smoked sausage, and camp fire with a distinct sweetness. Subtle spice from the rye, and a big sweet caramel malt finish. A tad too sweet in the finish, the alcohol comes through in the finish, a real sipper.

0,5 litre Bottle, (as 2010 vintage) shared by a friend. Almost Black with some offwhite head. Peated malt, smoke, barley, some bitterness.

Batch from 12.01.2012. Bottle from Saveur-Biere when they ship to PL. Prawie 8 letnie piwo, 50 IBU, sporo puszysto-kremowej pianki, średnio trwalej Barwa czarna z niewielkim prześwitem bordowego koloru. Aromat, coz wyraźnie dymny, ze można pomylić z Bambergowskimi piwami, mocnu i intensywny wedzony zapach, a jaki dymek poszedł po zdjęciu kapsla wraz z tym aromatem wędzonki to można by uznac to piwo za kopciucha i bardziej by zanieczyszczal powietrze niż nie jeden piec na wegiel. Teraz smak, Wedzona makrela, wedzone oscypki i podchalanskie kiełbasy. Jest lepko początkowo słodko, miod spadziowy, gryczany, pumpernikiel, maslanosc sos grzybowy wedzonka co chwila i ta chmielowa goryczka, ulozona wzbogaza i tonizuje nieco te dymnosc i miodowosc piwa. Bardzo treściwe, syte, oleiste, daktylowo-figowe, Coz można rozplywac się w skojarzeniach ale to wielkiej klasy piwo. Alko ponad 10 procent nie odczuwalne kompletnie. Piwo Dedykuje wygranej w Wisle D.A. Tande, a wszczegolnosci legendarnemu norweskiemu skoczkowi Roomorenowi, by jak najszybciej wracal do zdrowia. Bjorn this rete is for You.

Tap at CBM Jinbocho. Dark red brown colour, not much head. Aroma is full on smoky, meaty. Little bit of fruitiness swamped somewhere in there, and bit of booze. Taste is bbq sauce, slight bitterness, touch of booze, but hides the % quite well. Nice and smooth. As is my usual way with smoked beers, quite like them, but one is enough.

Refrigerated 0.5 brown bottle poured into a glass. Opaque dark brown with small off-white head. Aroma is dark malt, medium body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is dark malt, some smoke, some soy sauce, and a little spice. Expected to like this more.
