Leicht rauchiger, süßlich malziger Beginn. Etwas röstig, Nuancen von Kirschen, ich vermisse eine leichte Schärfe, die das Aroma bestimmt gut ergänzt hätte. Wenig Schokolade, etwas trocken, kaum holzig. Spritzig, herb-röstig, Kakao, Bitternoten. Zum Ende säuerlich, eher unpassend. OK. 12/9/8/9/7/9

Cherry Wood smoked stout. Quite good, very roasted malts and a deep pleasant smokiness. Heavy.

Almost black. Aroma is smoke ham sweet caramel light iodine heavy licorice some melasses. Taste is sweet and boozy malt with some smoke umami and a bit of salt. Heavy bittersweet finish. Pretty rough and boozy but with sufficient complexity.

Bottle from Bierkiste. Pretty much black, brown creamy head. Intense aroma: Roast, salmiak/licorice, smoke, dark chocolate, wood and cherry. Medium full dry base, peaty smoke, tobacco, roasted grain, Kirschwasser, Pumpernickel, spice notes. Fullflavoered, intense, stays interesting for a long time - many flavor notes to discover.

Good tan head, slowly receding over almost black beer. Rauchmalz, smoked wood, smoked mackerel. Cherrywood pipe (I've used one!). Lightly phenolic, smoke, tobacco ashes, wood. Dark malts, melanoidins, maltsyrup. Sweet finish. Quite well-carbonated, full bodied, slick. Bit soupy, too. Not bad, strange characteristics for an Imperial Stout, and low ABV. Txs to Stef!

Bottle picked up from Bierothek, München and consumed day 2 of Maifield Derby Festival, Mannheim in Frank at the end of the night. Smokey, there's a little bit of cheap cola. black in colour. Not getting cherry wood but definitely getting smoke. Not my thing, couldn't finish it.
