Smoke and English porters seem to be a natural combination, as the malt used to be dried on the kiln over an open fire. The appearance of this unfiltered beer is reminiscent of an espresso with a dark brown crema. The bouquet exudes clear aromas of roasted coffee, chocolate and classic English hops. On the palate, a good dose of Munich malt mixes with the aromas of smoked malt. A combination that softens the body and makes this dark beer fabulously drinkable. In the refreshing finish, the dominant chocolate and coffee notes are joined by a hint of walnut and a touch of acidity. This beer pairs well with rustic dishes such as lamb stew, roast pork or smoked turkey and even a dessert of brownies or crème brûlée.

Bottle (forgot where I picked it up from 🤔) had this Sunday 28th December 2025 after a lovely couple of days of mountain hikes and a short loop hike to our local Gasthof zum Sonnewald, Schofweg. We're cooking a Minced Beef and Cheese Pie, Onion Gravy, Sauteed Kale with Garlic and Pine Nuts, Tarragon Carrots, listening to Fins best of 2025. Pours dark brown edging towards black, light tan head. Smokey nose a little meaty, tangy, fruity and easy drinking, doesn't taste 6 %, straightforward smoked porter.
gave a cheers!

0.33l bottle, thx Fil for sharing with Ryan and me! Very dark red-brown body, off-white head. Smooth aroma, bit roasty, overwhelmed by heavy smoke. Yeasty, dry, smokey taste, bacon, roast, smoked plum... bit much overall.

0.33 l bottle from the brewery's web shop, best before October 2025. Clear, very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, quite smoky and slightly roasty aroma of smoked ham, hazelnut, coffee and dark chocolate. Gently sweet, malty, slightly bitter, quite roasty, rather smoky taste of dark chocolate, coffee, smoked ham and hazelnut, followed by a short, medium long, gently roasty-bitter finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Decent, but a bit too fizzy and hoppy for my liking.
