12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy dark brown with a minimal off-white head. Slight chemical and roasted malty aroma, gains a bit after the first impression. Light spiced flavour with a sweet roasted caramel malty flavoured. Light acidic note and mild bitterness into the finish.

12 oz. bottle, "Batch No. 06." Pours a slightly murky brown with a chalky layer of foam. No worries about smell, the smoked malt is right there and pretty much equal to the German style. Smell also has a bit of phenol to it. Well, that’s the chance with an undated import bottle (and also a characteristic of smoked beer). But I do find it pretty tasty. Smoky, but not overwhelmed with bacon or… no, there’s a distinct thread of gouda cheese at the back of my palate. But it’s worth finding. Not very complex, but this has a strong malt backbone with some sweetness to give it more roundness than "just" a smoked beer. Sticky malt finish.

12 oz. bottle from Sam’s Quik Shop in Durham, NC. Pours a pale gold with a quickly disappearing head. Aroma of skunk and grain. Taste is almost cloyingly sweet grains with fusel alcohol notes. Medium bodied and slightly stick. A true abomination of a beer.

Courtesy of Quake1028. Pours copper with a thin wisp of a white head. Well almost no head. The aroma has some sweet notes, hints of dark fruity esters and very mild smoke. The taste however is fairly bold, a bit overly bold considering this is a lager, with a sizeable smokiness up front backed by some sugar sweetness that slowly turns malty sweet into the finish. There’s just a faint note of noble hops way out in the back.

Pour is a cloudy brown with a small tan head. Aroma is deffinatly sweet with notes of banana and cloves. Flavor is again sweet with some caramel and molasses. Finish is thick but watery all at the same time. An ok beer nothing like some of it German counterparts as there is not much of a flavor profile.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of SoLan. Slightly hazy golden with a tall and very bubbly off-white head that dissipates rather quickly. Aroma of sweet fruit and yeast. Quite full-bodied with a bubbly mouthfeel from the heavy carbonation. Very sweet fruit and a rather weird but distinct smoky flavour. Subdued bitterness. 190608
