650ml bottle. Clear, dark copper colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Sweetish caramel malty and intensely but mildly smoky aroma, associations of smoked eel and smoked trout, hints of prune, bacon-wrapped prunes (Pflaumen im Speckmantel), ashes. Taste is dry, intensely smoky, peaty, hints of wet ashes, subtle hints of chocolate. Wow! One of the best smoked beers following the Schlenkerla path.
