(Bottled 50cl, BB 07/2011). Cloudy orange-amber color, good creamy beige head. Pinewoody and peach-fruity hoppy nose. Dry resiny-pinewood flavor with fruity hops. Some caramel lingering there too. Medium-bodied. Long bitter aftertaste. Quite well-balanced and easily drinkable IIPA.

(Bottled, BB 10/2009). Dark brown color, small beige head. Very strong Bamberg smoke malt aroma with tiny hint of licorice. Palate is a bit thin, light dunkel -like. Smoked wood and ham, malts with dryish mouthfeel. Lingering smokeyness in the aftertaste. I agree with KnutAlbert that this is quite good session beer. Not as complex and heavy as Schlenkerla, but drinkable.

Small brown head does not last. Opaque black body. Burnt wheaty coffee aroma with grainy notes. Sweetish alcoholic fruity citric taste with burnt grainy notes. Some alcohol heat. Soft mouthfeel. Dry grainy burnt chocolate and coffee aftertaste. A bit fizzy. Nice, but not outstanding. (0.1l taster draft at EBF ’08.)

Bottle at EBF08. Very weak aroma for style. Clear dark chestnut colour. The flavour is quite mild, slightly caramelly. Hint of spicy hops and yeast. Not flavourful enough for style and ABV.
