On tap at the Brew Pub, Philadelphia 18-11-08. Pours deep amber/dark copper in colour with a white head. There is a slight metallic edge to this beer but with some good spicy sausageyness as well, a bit of Bratwurst leaps out every now and again. Whilst this beer seems to the lack the depth and complexity of some other smoked in particular some of the best German examples its still a very drinkable beer with nice smokey woodiness, good meaty flavours. Its enjoyable. A7A4 F7 P4 OV13 3.5

On tap at the Brew Pub, Philadelphia 18-11-08. Pours black with a creamy very Guinness like head on top apart from the head is tan in colour. The taste is exceptionally smooth and creamy with some nice soft and roasty flavours a bit like Irish coffee at times in both appearance and smoothness but with less of a coffee edge. The alcohol whilst ever present never intrudes and is a warming presence. A good beer that I was hoping would have been even better, but it lacked overall complexity to move it onto the next notch.
