Bottle. Clear dark golden body with a nice, dense tan head. Aroma has a rather mild and gentle touch of smoke with oak, vanilla and light caramel malt. Flavor is the same subtle, delicate kind of smoke, wood, vanilla, smooth sweet malt with a moderate bitter finish. Fine balanced body and aftertaste in the same direction. I think this is the kind of beer that suits people that prefer their smoked beer with less smoke than the typical Bamberg experience. At least for the beer I the lighter and paler part of the malt scale. At least this suits me fine as long as this is a non heavy stout. It's actually highly enjoable and easy drinkable IMO.

Bottle. Almost clear straw golden body with a nice, big, white head. Aroma is light fruity, minerals and yogurt. Flavor is a bit like a mild Berliner Weisse with more alcohol and less acidity. Medium to light bodied and average aftertaste. Decent, easy drinkable but not very exiting.

Bottle. Clear dark brown, almost black body with a big, dense, creamy beige head. Looks fantastic. Nice aroma of smooth dark malt, toast and dry fruit. Flavor is quite sweet, dark malt, coffee, dark chocolate nice roast. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Nice, pleasant and a god sample of the style.

Bottle. Clear pale golden body with a nice, dense white head. Aroma has a mild, delicate yeasty, fruity, ester thing with the pale malty background. Flavor is sweet pale malt, spicy, fruity yeasty like aroma and balancing alcohol that takes the edge from the sweetness. Fine body and OK aftertaste. An elegant Belgium Triple with no sharp edges or anything special really, but very well made and really pleasant.

Bottle. Clear amber body with a dense, lacing beige head. Aroma is malt, caramel, nutty and hint of fruit. Flavor is like a quite OK Belgium dubbel, all the flavors seems to be right, but a lack of dept and complexity makes it less successful than the Tripel version (Baltic Ale). Fine body and average aftertaste. Decent and easy drinkable, but not much going on really.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a white head. Aroma is fruity in general with a hint of yeast and esters. The taste is like a well made, balanced Belgium triple, subtle fruity but quite distinct at the same time, sweet pale malt, spicy, yeast, esters. It actually manage to give the typical sweet but dry feeling I get from a well brewed classic Tripple. Balanced in flavors and balanced in body. Nice, but I don’t get the Baltic thing here.
