Probably the best smoked beer I have had. The smoke is prominent in the aroma but not overpowering like what I would expect from something out of Bamberg. It has the standard porter flavors but does them better than most; including coffee and chocolate. Thick and full bodied.

Pours deep blackish brown, with a thin head that dies out. A great smoke aroma and tast.

Bottle (2002). Smoked flavour, not surprisingly. Mouthfeel is a little thin. Roasted, creamy aftertaste.

Solid aroma of smoky malts — earthy and woody with hints of leather. The flavor is also robust with smoke and roasted malts hinting at a meaty flavor with a bit of sweetness, perhaps caramel, in the background. Dry, slightly bitter finish. Medium body. Clean and smooth with a slight stickiness that hangs around. Nicely done.

Pretty opaque pour, with a thick ring of tan lacing - very prominent smoke in the aroma, earthy notes, chocolate - a very meaty porter - smoke flavors don’t overpower like in many other smoked beers, but rather, they intertwine with vanilla and cocoa, a bit of black cherry, oak, some caramel malt? - finishes quite dry, just some lingering wood and smoke - drinking this beer makes me feel like I’m camping in the depths of the alaskan wilderness, hunched over a roaring fire.

Bottle (Courtesy of FlacoAlto): Poured a clear deep amber color ale with a nice white bubbly head with average retention. Aroma of sweet malt with a subtle mix of spices. Taste is a mix between sweet malt and a subtle mix of spices. Body is a bit thin and I can’t say that I really tasted the spruce tips. I believe I would have appreciated this better with a stronger presence of spices.

On tap at Archer Ale House
Slightly muddy dark brown colour. Rich smoke character with sweet chocolatey porter notes and light hints of roast. Just meaty stuff this is. Flavour is very balanced, with good sustained smokiness and beautifully extracted milk chocolatey malts. I like the fact that I had it at Archer’s - Rick wouldn’t carry this beer because one year it was so smoky nobody would buy it.

This beer is for those who want to pretend they are drinking IPA.There is nothing wrong with this beer, a transition beer to be sure, but the lack of hops disqualifies it from being an IPA
