Bottled. Pale brown colour, huge white creamy head. Sweet caramellish aroma with toffeeish and malty hints. Wheaty and malty flavour with weak toffeeish hints. Smooth palate, but where is the smoke?

(bottle) Clear amber colour with a medium foamy slightly off-white head with nice lace. Malty aroma with a slight smoked note that becomes more prevalent in the flavour and a hint of berries (juniper). Bread-malty taste with well combined touch of smoked bacon and smooth smokemalty slightly bitter finish with a profound fruitiness. Great !

Bottle: Amber coloured, thin off-white, lasting head; distinctive smoky (bacon) nose with some traces of fruitiness (citrus) and also some hints of hops; initial sweetish maltiness ends in a quite complex finish: bitter, sweet, malty with some distinctive but soft traces of smoke; low carbonation; well drinkable: don’t be afraid; if the first one is too odd, try a second one.........

Deep amber color body under a decent head that shows a hint of color. Smoky bacon aroma. The smoke is just about right in the flavor and comes mostly in the finish, letting the malt come to the front at the beginning. Nicely done and this would be especially good with many foods needing a counterpoint.

Clear brown color, short brown head. Aroma of rye, quite overwhelming, some oatmeal, bit smoked. Very malty taste, rye, bit smoked again but too little. Bitter and malty aftertaste. As bierkoning said: less character than expected.

Amber with olive and orangey highlights; small amberish head. Smoked ham nose, smoked beechwood, branches of fenouil, fire-heated chestnuts, hot bread and cool autumn leaves. Almost metallic, coppery smoked taste, as from food heated in a copper pot; honey-cured smoked ham, with bread and salted butter included, all liquidised and pepped up with fresh spring water. Medium bodied, lighter than the Märzen or the Schlenkerla. Super, one of my favourite styles. The Märzen I seem to have liked better, the Schlenkerla will always be more brutal, less refined.

Aroma of sweet fruit and shoe leather. A great looking beer. Cloudy, red, and a thick head. A chemical flavor followed by a light smoked taste. November 28, 2004. 5/5/5/2/12. Nine years after first trying this beer from a bottle. and having learned to love smoked beers, I can substantially raise my score after having it on draught at Spezial. Clear brown color. Lots of smoke in the aroma. Roasted meat and dry malt. The smoke is dominant here, and that is great.

Bottle. Smoked and banana fruitiness of a Weizen nicely balanced. Fairly clear yellow appearance - next to no cloudiness. Slight banana/clove flavor up front with the smoky finish but not really a wood smoke.
