Can, enormous thanks Gurthnar for saving this one to share for me! Blackish body, lasting off-white head, pretty big. Nutty notes in the aroma, prunes, smoke, smoked plums really, light roast. The taste is impressive too, bacon, nutty notes, nice roastiness, dates, creamy, lightly tart. Apart from the tartness, absolutely lovely, great job!

Can (4/21/25) from trade with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Opaque dark brown with light sparkle, large head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is smoky, woody (campfire) roasted malt, very late hint of caramel. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, frothy, creamy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Geez, this is like a Rauchbier.

16 oz can traded by Clarkvv, thanks?? Full disclaimer, I donβt enjoy smoked malt. The only thing I find in the aroma is light campfire. Thankfully the flavor has a little more going on. Honey grain, bread, minerals, and of course smoke.

Can, best before 9/5/25, drunk 6/12/25.
Clear blonde-golden-brass. Big, fluffy, white head, great retention.
Nose is a luscious smoke with all sorts of woodiness, very light iodine and lots of pepper. Good maltiness behind it, with white bread, light sourdough and a hint of earthy, mildly herbal hop. Clean.
Somewhat malty, quite smokey, with earth, ash, rich wood and dust and a lingering pepper. Good depth and pretty good attenuation. I don't know, there's always something with their beers I can't quite put my finger on that I don't love. But this is pretty well-done and the smoke is certainly fantastic.

Can via Pult, Prague, after PBF fest. Rather thin body, dry, medium carbonation. Quickly disappearing head, rather soapy big bubbles. Clear dark brown colour. Medium bitterness, low sweetness. Loads of smoked aroma and flavour, bacon, but also kinda oaky? I am new to alder smoke, but it is intense here, and very good, I love it. Beer overall easily drinkable, very tasty. Great.

Tap at Dva kohouti. Medium body, medium carbo. Definitely more on the lager side of an IPL. Now, reading the description, seeing that Kazbek is star, it makes sense. There is no over the top fruitiness, but lots of herbal, grassy, Czech character. A bit earthy. Medium body, medium carbo. Med-med-high bitterness, light sweetness. Good, but not great, honestly boring.

Tap at Dva Kohouti, big thanks Adam V! Clear golden body, off-white head. Floral, herbal, huge hoppy aroma. Lean, dry taste, floral, herbal, minerally, light, lightly tart. Not the happiest with the body in the end but good one to be entirely fair!
