7% version. Clear brown, puffy beige head. Medium bead. Smoke, caramel, wood, grass. Taste has caramel and honey sweetness (although I suppose the honey is just a brain misfire due to having had tea-tree honey), a touch of lager sourness and plenty of smoke. I didn’t really get any sense of bacon or ham. Slightly sticky mouthfeel. Alcohol dangerously well-hidden. Interesting smoke character adds a local touch to what is otherwise a pretty German-tasting brew. Could be more smoke and it lacks the depth of some smoked beers, but this is a solid drop.

Bottled. A light golden cider. The aroma has notes of sweet apples. The flavor is sweet with notes of boring apples, leading to a lightly tart finish.

Re-rate, aged 1.5yrs, which really helped this beer IMO. Tons of smoked Gouda. Very big malty backbone. Malty. Rating is blended Peaty, smokey nose with a touch of manuka honey. The mouth is unbalanced with only a faint hint of smokey and honey. Sweet. Much more like a Scotch ale than anything else. OK.

Bottled. A hazy reddish beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has strong notes of fruit as well as medium notes of malt, berries, and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes fo beech wood smoke, as well as a light acidity, leading to a dry smokey finish. The alcohol leaves a ligth burn in the finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy black with a small light brown head. Lightly tart aroma of burned malt. Medium body with hard roasted malts, some accents of metal and blood and then a distinct acidity. This is clearly infected but actually comes out very refreshing – almost like a Flemish Sour. 250308

Bottle, 6%. Good smoky aroma. Almost clear red and brown colour. Distinct smoke flavour, some smoked ham, good alcohol finish. Quite nice.
