Very dark brown, seems clear. Small offwhite film. Malty, toffee aroma. Flavour is light, rather watery with roast, bread and chocolate. Boooring bad porter.

Hazy pale orangeish. Small frothy offwhite head. Malty aroma with fruity, berry notes. Similar flavour with light hoppy bitterness. Light, slightly watery mouthfeel.

0,33 l bottle. Muddy honey colour, small off white head. Hopy with some sourness hints on the nose. Taste starts hopy, flower meadow, pale malt, orange. Bitter hints in the late aftertaste. Interesting but expected more.

0,33 l bottle, best before 6/8/2015, christmas present from my sister. Clear, very dark ruby with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, tan head. Sweetish-smoky aroma of smoked ham, smoked wood, nuts, raisins, dark cherries and a bit of toffee. Sweetish, just slightly smoky taste of raisins, dark cherries, smoked ham, coal, molasses, nuts, a bit of toffee and dark chocolate. Rather short, quite hoppy finish with an increased smokiness. Medium to full body, slightly oily mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Very good beer. Not as deep and full-bodied as the Schlenkerla bock beers, but still very harmonic and satisfying. Highly underestimated. Recommended if you like doppelbock and smoked beer crossovers.

Bottle 330ml (BZ, BB 03/2015)
Hazy yellow color, small steady white head. Aroma is grainy, peppery with odd overriped berries or fruits. Medium-bodied. Flavor is malty with citrus, grains, straw, wheat. Some white peppery notes. Flavor is better than the aroma. Interesting brew. Wouldn’t say that it is typical bottled altbier. In RB style classes perharps Wheat Ale is closer.

0,33 l bottle. Thanks to kappldav123! Dark brown and unclear in the glass. Bigger head than expected. Malty bacon with fresh hop on the nose. Starts like a cough drop with smoked ham. Later more smoke and sugar sweetness with malt and hop in the background. Warming, not overpeated, a little bit sticky, getting thin structure to the end. Interesting.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma is fruity with notes of malt and straw.

Dunkel malziger, weich rauchiger Antrunk. Im Mittelteil steigt die Malzigkeit wenig, das Bier bleibt süffig und erstaunlich spritzig. Zum Ende deutlich weniger Rauch, der Fokus liegt auf dem süßlichen Malz. 10/10/10/11/11/11
