Bottled@Fonefan. Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is smoked wood, some quite baconlike notes as well. Flavour is tar and smoke along with some caramel as well. A bit to the sweeter side of the smoked Germans.

Draught at Leipziger Bierbörse 2009. Looks red in the glass, like a kriek. Dry-fruity aroma. Tastes also dry, only modest fruity. Not really like elder. Yeasty finish with notes of strawberries. Not really exciting.

Bottled. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, and dusty hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and malt, leading to a dry bitter and nutty finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.
