CBF07 sample from tap. Pours orange hazy with a white head. Aroma is very flowery and bitterhops with a soft sweet malt profile. Flavour is plain bitter, very, very bitter. Bitter and utterly out of balance.

Draught at KØ07. OK hop aroma. Very bitter flavour, almost puckering. A bit too much hops for me. I seem to get a little berry flavour in the finish, perhaps also from the hops. Good mouthfeel and soft carbonation.

Small rim of bubbles; dark Coca-Cola ale. Acetic acid, raspberry, tannines, old cognac in a barrel. In the taste, raisins, higher alcohols, cognac, sulphur, and very sweet on swallowing. Very rich MF, sticky, full bodied as few others. I do not get the medicinal flavours/aromas other taster complain about. Then, being a dentist, I might have gotten immune... There’s something funny about it, to me, it is like a little rest of brandy, in an emptied cask, that has gone sour despite all the ABV. Still, I liked it - thanks Lachesis for sharing, and of course, to Mikkel!

RB# 600. CBF07 sample from tap. Pours deep amber and brown. Aroma of sweet sugar and citric raspberry. Flavour is very very sweet into a slight sour blend. Some wood appears once the extreme sweetness has settled. Finish is alcoholic and sweet.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very unclear orangey brown with an off-white head. Distinct, baconish smoke aroma. Medium body, some roasted malt and otherwise completely dominated by these, fat, baconish smoke accents. Dry finish with a light, underlying tartness. A true Bamberg style smoke beer. 200507

(Draught at Ölbaren, Copenhagen, 18 May 2007) Dark brown colour with brief head. Malty, sweetish and rather ... brownish nose with hints of herbs and cola. Malty, rather sweet taste with chocolate, dark fruit, raisins and figs. Balanced, but not really complex.A good try at the styel, though.
