33 cL hand bottle. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Solid salami and roasted malty aroma. Leathery and dry. Flavour has the same smoked note from back of the nose yet the base flavour is mild winous and fruity grape flavoured. Mild flavoured yet with a strong aroma component. One of a kind.

On tap @ EBF 2008. Black body with a thin beige head. Aroma is roasted malt and tar. Flavor is sweet, burnt malt and bitter coffee. Quite masculine style, not exactly harmonic but rather straight forward sweet and bitter in a raw style.

(Draught@brewpub). Dark brown, almost opaque color,steady small espresso head. Aroma of smoke, wet wood and salted licorice. Medium bodied. Lots of, lots of fruity NZ hops and licorice. Dry mouthfeel with an impressive late smokey taste. Aftertaste comes with salted licorice and hoppy bitterness. Although this is not brewed with Bambergian malts, this tastes like Schlenkerla Urbock with extra hops added. Despite of being very hoppy and smokey, this "Bad Santa" is extremely drinkable.
